didn't quite work out in stuttgart. and emma's statistics for 2022 is 5/7 while leylah's is 10/5. leylah won a tournament this year and emma? well? yeah nothing.
so keep making your 'emma got bulky' and 'look what emma ate today' and 'she wore that west ham jersey' again threads but it won't help the fact that she sucks
>emma got 8 games guys!!!! >meanwhile a player that's never been ranked above #30 took a set and twice as many games off iga LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
would you rather have won Monterrey, or the US Open?
reality is no one on the WTA tour sees Leylah as the ultimate titan to be defeated like Emma. so she's going to have an easier first few years on the tour. Emma's the number 1 target; no doubt that has hindered Emma's results. but this is altitude training, which will help Emma in the long run. in 5 years time, Emma's going to have multiple slams to her name; Leylah won't.
Adam Turner
That's her Asian genes overriding her shitty Slav genes
Luis Anderson
>would you rather have won Monterrey, or the US Open? I would rather not win any of those and win consistently instead of consistently losing in first round
Henry Gomez
Cute
Eli Foster
check out that cope lmao leylah will probably end up having a long and consistent career with multiple titles. she may win a slam, she may not. but emma will inevitably drift off into obscurity only to be remembered as a quirky little story about that one time some qualifier won the USO
Henry Martin
Toronto is literally an interracial breeding ground
Hunter Lewis
It's mostly just white guys with Asian women, and black men with white women though
Dylan Morales
no one cares about that 'emma' person. she's like a one hit wonder and won't achieve too much more. you already can see that because she focuses on everything else more than on tennis. leylah is slowly and that means more reliably better and even if she won't be the best of all time either she will be consistent in her performances and successes
you can't extrapolate anything from emma's last few months given the complete unique nature of her career. there is zero comparison to her career arc, male or female.
this is based on what? the fact she went to a Porsche museum the day after she had finished her tournament, with a week to go until Madrid?
people are allowed to actually have a life off the court. going to a museum and having a couple photos done in a Porsche is not remotely distracting.
Emma is not for cooming you dirty swine, leave your unchaste thoughts to yourself Such an endearing smile :) And her cross always close to her heart
Lucas Diaz
it's not just the visit it's all her media presence. and her results since the us open? lost in
>indian wells 2R (her first match in tournament) >Cluj-Napoca QF (third) >Linz R16 (first) >Sydney 1R (first) >Australian Open 2R (second) >Guadalajara 1R (first) >Indian Wells 3R (second) >Miama 2R (first) >Billie Jean Cup one victory one loss >Stuttgart QF (third)
how is that impressive?
Juan Bailey
meanwhile leylah
>Indian wells R16 (third) >Adelaide R16 (second) >Australian Open 1R (first >Monterrey Final (fifth, tournament winner) >Indian Wells R16 (third) >Miami 2R (first) >Charleston 2R (first) >Billie Jean Cup (two victories)
Nathaniel Bailey
again, incomparable. Leylah is a run of the mill 19 year old alsoran, performing with no pressure or expectation. The buzz for every post-US Open tournament in 2021 for Emma has never been seen for any player, ever. Take Federer in his absolute prime. He didn't have the same buzz as Emma did at that first Indian Wells. And it was her first ever WTA match. She's had to deal with no experience, a level of pressure and expectation never seen before, and a body that has no time to adapt. If you really think analyzing results of the last 6 months is going to be representative of their two careers, you're deluded.
Gavin Wright
>never been seen... ever >never been seen before
yeah she really is the first player with that kind of pressure. of course the results of the past months can't predict the future but they show she is not dealing too well with her situation because instead of focusing and sports and training she does all kind of shit what more or less famous people her age do nowadays. she has become a media person she's not just a tennis player anymore and you can see that
Hunter Foster
She just needs... Five more years, heh
Michael Sullivan
aside from the events in that week after the US Open win, what has she done that other famous people do? she got a bunch of brand deals very quickly (as expected; she went from no one to a major sports star), did a few photoshoots (probably multiple done on the same day). post-tournament she goes to a museum, sits in a car and someone takes a photo. back on the plane home to train. i'm not seeing her all over the place like she's Beckham or something.
Ethan Bell
in 5 years she'll have a nice collection of slams. she could very well win the French and Wimbledon this year. it wouldn't surprise me. it took her 2 weeks of experience on clay to be nearly on par with the best player in the world on her favourite surface.
Joshua Clark
>nearly on par lmao this delusion
Chase Morales
>in 5 years she'll have a nice collection of slams. she could very well win the French and Wimbledon this year. Quite unlikely. >it took her 2 weeks of experience on clay to be nearly on par with the best player in the world >nearly on par Absolutely false, and Samsonova even took a set from Iga and that's not being nearly on par either.
Aiden Morris
you name enough already. all of that happened within 7 months. in addition to it all that social media bullshit attending galas etc. she is a marketing product and you are falling for it. she never had a bad streak like since the us open. guess why that is?
this, if emma didn't lose her head with those breakpoints i think she could've even won that match. she clearly got the better of iga towards the end of the second set and had already figured her out
Sebastian Cruz
before winning french open or wimbledon she shouldn't lose first round matches of tournaments all the time
Nathan Allen
>emma will inevitably drift off into obscurity In fairness Emma will always be remembered due to being the worst slam winner in tennis history. She makes Jelena Ostapenko look like Martina Navratilova.
Julian Morgan
unlike leylah, emma has never lost a first round match in a slam
Blake Cook
that 5head is disturbing
Austin Watson
>on par kek she won like 3 points on Iga's serve in the entire first set.
William Sanchez
true she lost in qualifying rounds two times already kek
Lincoln Mitchell
>she clearly got the better of iga towards the end of the second set Nah, Iga was just got a bit nervous as she was eager to close out the match. She knew her winning streak coming to an end against that fraud would be so humiliating that it would drive any rational person to suicide.
Connor Robinson
As a proud casual I don't even know that tenhead uggo and can say she is noone compared to Emma
the difference i've noted between the two is pretty stark. when leylah is behind or drops a game/set she almost seems angry about it. she gets a defiant look on her face like she's thinking "fuck this bitch. who tf does she think she is?". when emma inevitably starts shitting the bed she looks defeated and does that thing where she drops her head and acts like she can't believe she's not actually as good as all the journalists and fanboys said she was and then starts pumping her fist when her opponent hits an UE.
Camden Watson
>she clearly got the better of iga towards the end of the second set and had already figured her out And yet she still lost. So I guess we're at the point in the cycle where losing in straight sets is somehow considered playing better than her opponent?
>Mimi Xu could be next Emma Raducanu. >"Painful blister stopped me from moving." >Elena 'destroyed' Emma in straight sets
i don't like the titles of your videos
Easton Sullivan
kek do they actually have a mimi video? i thought that was an Yea Forums-only meme
Anthony Carter
Has Emma shown genuine fight in a single match in her career? At Wimbledon she quit when she was losing and at the USO she won all matches comfortably. This year she has either blown matches from winning positions or lost easily.
Leylah fought like crazy to make the USO with a bunch of tough matches. This year she has had comeback wins including saving match points.
Jack Butler
>noooo you need to show heckin fighterino you can't just style everyone in straight sets
Jace Gray
Lads please You have all got to stop obsessing over Emma
Brayden Richardson
At this point, its sadly not possible anymore
Jaxon Jenkins
>you can't just style everyone in straight sets But she's only done that in 1 tournament. You need to be able to win ugly and just simply fight harder than your opponent sometimes.
Samuel Anderson
Give her some time, she hasn't even played much this year. She had Covid and was riddled with injuries
Chase Cooper
Emma is a sweet lady, she's not going to turn into a grisly ogress like some of the "girls" on the WTA tour
>three literal whos in qualifying round >voegele >zhang >sorribes tormes >rogers >bencic >sakkari
Joseph Murphy
Leylah was knocked out in round 1 in the grand slam before and after the US Open. She's a one-hit wonder. Emma would never
Jack Hill
emma was knocked out in wimbledon qualifying rounds two times before so she didnt even have a chance to lose a first round grand slam tournament match before the us open
