Our Emma wins again. She needs to close out games better when she's got her opponent on the run.

Odd game ( loss ) from Emma.

The other girl ( Wang ) was hitting it proper hard in those last few games. She didn’t seem to handle it ?

Ahh, she's an absolute sweetie, but yeah injuries have taken their toll and she'd never get back to the level she was a few years ago.
Mentally as frail as a leaf which limited her success in grand slams - which makes our Johanna a proper Brit in my book.

Yeah it a shame she is not made of sterner stuff. Wimbledon 17 was there for the taking. Massive choke in the semi final. She was easily the stand out player in that tournament. World No1 level of play getting through to the semi. Then bottled it big style.

Utterly bonkers. Adam Peaty has something like the 25 fastest times ever seen in his event. It's a level of dominance in his sport that I don't think any British sportsperson has ever achieved. Here is a guy who has won 3 Olympic golds, 8 World Championship golds, 16 European Championship golds, and 3 Commonwealth golds, yet he's beaten by someone who has won 1 major and has been largely phoning it in ever since.

Or you have Sarah Storey, winning 5 Olympic golds in swimming before switching to cycling and winning 12 more in that. I guess she's not photogenic and competing in a sport beloved of the chattering classes though. What a country we are. This is up there with Zara Phillips winning it.
