Thought it'd be years after Andy Murray retired until there was another British major champion. He's still playing!

Just incredible. What an athlete.

It’s not like she cut her knee on purpose!

It won’t - the rules are clear for blood and the decision wasn’t even in Raducanu’s hands.

Oh come on, much as Radacanu was truly astonishing, give her opponent some empathy.

Yep, no way the time-out should even be a footnote in this story. It was clear from the game and stats that Raducanu was the stronger player

She played brilliantly, but nothing Raducanu could do, and complaining does nothing.

Suck it up! Absolutely not necessary. Radacanu has way to much class to stoop to such a thought. Watch her speech and learn. Goodnight.

Well, he won a bunch of ATP titles to be fair. Just no slams.

Jesus, you’re reading far too much into this. Go to bed and maybe you’ll feel better in the morning.
