Thank you Corazon. Common sense. An astonishing match between two future stars of women’s tennis. Neither player looked like they know how to give in! Both had great mental strength as much as their superstar skills! Really enjoyed that- brilliant match, two gracious players. Sport wins all round.


It was a poor choice of words, I suppose. I apologise.


No need to apologise man, you’re a good dude and it obviously wasn’t meant in a Piers Morgan way!


No doubt Piers is currently taking full credit…

I’m honestly loving this aspect of the whole thing. It’s so depressing though, because the fear of what kind of headlines are written now that she’s out there if and when she loses a big game is very real. :dread:

Oh god no, strawberry float that guy.

Of course I’m far from an elite athlete so I have no idea how to react in such situations.

Presumably because they are using the Amazon feed and part of the deal was that they had to show all of it with no breaks.

I send my congratulations to you on your success in winning the United States Open Tennis Championships. It is a remarkable achievement at such a young age, and is testament to your hard work and dedication. I have no doubt your outstanding performance, and that of your opponent Leylah Fernandez, will inspire the next generation of tennis players. I send my warmest good wishes to you and your many supporters.

ELIZABETH R. (THE QUEEN)
