I think it's hilarious that Tim Henman hyped her up to be a potential "multiple slam champion" then advised her to not believe the hype, as the video pointed out, "ironically..." 🤣

This was one of the most intelligent commentaries I've heard. Emma after the US Open no coach and was actually coaching herself. Covid wow another thing yet she went on, pulled out but still the coach thing was a problem. The best female players in the world, most missing, took ages to get to where they are. I do think Emma will be a miracle and when that happens it's going to be amazing.. For now it will be interesting watching the woman's game. It's like dice in a cup there are no greats at the minute.

5:00 Ash Bart..."Aren't going anywhere Anytime soon" Lol 😂

The only tennis prodigies who lived up to their potential in RECENT memory are 1. The Williams Sisters on women's side (both went pro at 14 y/o) 2. Rafa Nadal on the men's side. (went pro at 15 y/o)

She's going to win more Grand Slams did they not say that about Sofia kenin did they not say that about Jelena Osterpanko, Ana Ivanovic, sloane Stephens, I love how the commentators make these bold predictions like writing a story then turning into a movie and become a millionaire Iike J K Rowling but fiction is much more believable than reality

When Martina said 'there are no holes in her gfame' she means _technically._ Many players have a weak side, or are vulnerable to slice, or have a weak second serve (or a weak first serve). A player can have no holes in their game and still be beaten - as Murray, Rafa, Roger and Novak have proved against each other for the last ten years.

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION RYBAKINA DEMOLISHED HER, 60 61

this was posted before Indian wells and the Miami Open I wonder how people feel now

She was very, very LUCKY. In the last 40 years, how many times has someone won a slam with their highest ranked opponent being world no.13? It might have happened in that time, but such an occasion does not (immediately) spring to mind.

Well done Baseline Tennis I’m loving your thinking, your out of the box not commonly thought of topics in Tennis. Well done keep them coming please

Anyone who wins a grand slam looks brilliant technically and strategically. However, Women's tennis has a lot of one hit wonders. The best predictor of future greatness is the overall win rate. The truly great players have win rates of about 80% or higher. Swiatek is now averaging 76% overall, but 89% this year! Raducanu has an overall average of 54%, with a best annual average of 67% in 2021. Coco Gauff is now averaging 66%, with a best annual average of 69% in 2019. With an overall win rate of less than 70%, it is unlikely that a player will win more than 2 or 3 Grand Slams.

Media should stop overhyping and overrating Emma Raducanu. She might make it big.

Let’s support the young talents but withhold the large statements to avoid putting heavy expectations that may eventually derail their ascent.

Real tennis fans support the players and appreciates the art of tennis. This is a good video content :) Raducanu is in a unique position and she’s got her own trajectory really. So might as well lessen your expectations and be objective rather than subjective.

Everybody has critics. If you play an international sport at the highest level, it doesn't matter whether you are 18 or 80, you will have critics. Putting someone on the pedestal is only going to attract more criticism.

Great video, and I m agreeing 2022 will be a huge learning curve for Emma. She just might able to win a couple of WTA titles but no Slams, not yet anyway..... it is true she was an awesome weapon during the recent US Open..... whether she had an easy draw I dont think so. Reckon 2023 will be the year she gonna get into top 5...... a few slams along the way. But there's no doubt she can play. She has the talents.... it is a question whether she can forget all the media crap and find her inner talents and I m sure she will. Whether Im bias or not but god damn she is a fine looking lady. And I cant wait to see her 'grow' better, faster and stronger this year. Roll on AO, it is about to start in 2 days time. Come on Emma....show us what you got!!!???? Good luck Em..... I m rooting for ya....

Surprisingly good commentary for one of those auto robotic efforts

The thing is, the level needed to win a Grand Slam tournament in women’s tennis has never been lower. Most of the time, players don’t even need to beat anyone from the top 10-15 in order to win a Slam and have an extra day of rest, making the Slams easier to win than regular tour events. Two random teenagers, one of which was ranked outside the top 150, playing a Slam final is literally rock bottom for the WTA. There is an absence of elite players gatekeeping Slam titles and as a result the stakes aren’t nearly as high nor as special. Slams aren’t this giant hurdle you need to overcome by being the best, it’s simply enough that you play at a decently high level, be consistent and capitalize on the draw completely falling apart. Raducanu is one of the many that has emerged victorious from this post-Serena transitional era, but the hype is unwarranted. That being said, I do think she has the potential to be a great player, but it will probably take a few years. She’s still too young.

4:58 that aged nicely with Barty.

Funny how everyone is knocking hell out of Emma now. Just give her chance to learn. I hope she wins again to ram it down the media's throat!!!

Unless you don't have a problem with being wrong about predictions, gotta be careful with the commentary. Even the supposed experts get things wrong. I especially hate how they are off when it comes to how to execute certain shots and techniques. "Flick of the wrist" comments annoy me to no end. It is not just a flick of the wrist. So many other things.

This video is somewhat hypocritical, you yourselves say in the video, "there is no doubt... if she reaches her potential she will be the face of tennis for the next decade". Talk about hype. Tennis analysts should give their opinion, they don't have a crystal ball they may be wrong but if they think she will be successful of course they can say that, that's their job.

4:58 Barty says hello

Well she is a champion She best 10 players to win the US open She is only 19 Disciplined Intelligent Well grounded Has a great game Has a great smile We need her to see women’s tennis Be really interesting to watch She will do well Work hard Work long Be fit Keep learning You will win many more Grand slams You have a match at the Australian slam She is a good player Be tough from the first ball Emma Radicanu

This is tennis, pressure is everyday task from beginning.

Leylah beat the cream at uso Emma win Reminded me of stosur loss to schiavone at french WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN ATP

The on court American commentary of the US Open Final 2021 was atrocious. The two commentators continually talked over the play and mostly about nothing to do with the match itself. Thank goodnes, at the AO the commentators keeps their mouths shut during play.

I AM EMMA'S BIGGEST FAN. Eversince Wimbledon. My biggest love for Emma is her character (on & off the court - u got to be kidding me if u say her precious smile doesn't melt ur heart). But, this doesn't have anything to do with what im about to say.. What does it take to have a good chance of winning a major? 7 consecutive very good match or 7 exceptional match played, gonna give these WTA players within reach of these trophies. Is there ever 'easy' draw in WTA? I don't believe so & i never did. But why there's so many different major champions in this last 4 years? Its because there is NO domination. Its easy to forget that legends like Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf & Serena Williams only came ONCE in a decade. Its just that they came in RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER that makes this domination continuation a non-stop & became like a tradition. But there WERE many good players which also became Hall of Famers, DURING this eras. So, we all (tennis fans) EXPECT somebody to dominate after Selena, because we've been served with this 'domination' tradition for decades. For me, its too early to say.. All these current champions are still young. BUT by EXPECTING these young winners to DOMINATE EACH TIME THEY WON A MAJOR, is a crime in itself. It might gonna take a while for 'domination' eras to begin again. So, just be SUPPORTIVE of ur favs, but DONT put too much expectations on them. Because in the current field, there are about 100 players who can beat one another on their given day.

What a predit ! Clara Tauson destroyed in form Kontaveit

The main tennis podcast I listen to is British based and they had been hyping listeners up on Emma well before Wimbledon. Not believing the hype about you is always easier said than done, even moreso in the age of social media.

Raducanu almost had 6-0 6-0 against Sorribes Tormo in the US Open (had 3 break points points to do so but nobody thinks Sorribes Tormo is that bad.

Tim Henman said if she stays injury free! That has been the key. She has the game....you would crtainly teach your kid to play like her. Has beautifal shot making ability.

Over hyped. Sports Personality………..? Sadly it is Middle England and Daily Mail readers who have been waiting for a replacement for Tim Henman as their favourite player instead of that uncouth Scotsman, who has only won three Grand Slams, two Olympic Gold Medals. Together with his brother, Jamie, it was basically Team Dunblane that won The Davis Cup.

She has surprised many She will surprise again With her game With her determination With her hard work She will be in top 10 And win tournaments And Wimbledon This year Emma Raducanu

Blame the idiot fans. People don't watch tennis much or don't follow it for years to know that once in a blue moon, something peculiar happens. For someone so young, it is a big deal yes. But it's going to take her years to become "the best player ever". She most probably won't. Let her breath. Lose. Then learn to win. Don't crown her as the queen of England from the start. Everyone seriously need to learn better

She has done amazing at her age and she a Brit 👍🏽 🇬🇧 but the big players are going to have to drop out before she can get to win sorry to say. Like in 2 years or 3. I my be wrong?

Força Emma

She’s a damn good player, people need to give her time to develop.

Yeah the biggest problem of raducanu is even if she manages somehow to repclicate the form she had at the us open, after the rise of swiatek there is not much she would do

Did you just say Sofia kenin?😂😂🤣😂

ash barty is not going anywhere anytime soon??? hahaha

Overhyped...going the way of Ostapenko.

I keep hearing people wondering whether I know Emma. Have I ever met her physically? No. However, some of the best male tennis players (and some female tennis players), who are somewhat familiar with me, have been saying that we two have a lot in common (an unusual amount). I am generally better known than many among the "athlete clique". I was a number of years ago dubbed the Bay Area Super Fan for my helpful comments on Bay Area pro teams. More recently I have been commenting on the women's world cup skiing. I also played racquet sports. Thus Emma can "know" me to some extent without actually meeting me. This helps with trust on her part. Also because we have a lot in common, I can think along the same lines she does without straining myself. She can understand me without much effort. We have been communicating a bit through public forums. Emma has been saying my comments have been helpful. I have been trying to help. I have been trying to help even with injuries and blisters. I have also been trying to help with tennis at least in fundamentals. She seems to be listening. My comments seem to be helping when I see her play. She has taken it on the chin with all of her injuries. I have been trying to keep her from getting too down on herself. She is a great talent. To some extent you may have had to experience lows yourself to know what she has really been going through after he big US Open win. They do say, "Glory is fleeting." However, talent is not fleeting except if there is serious injury involved. Emma has the talent. I like to think I am helping her show it without having to experience as much pain. Perhaps I am showing myself to be a nice guy. Nice guys with a lot of experience tend to be empathetic to people with talent who are trying hard. I like to think I am a nice guy. Emma also has a strong interest in Economics. That is another thing we have in common. In a sense she knows me without knowing me (without have physically met me). I a sense I know her better than many people she talks to every day.

It’s so odd martina one minute saying she’s brilliant the next she’s saying other things. What a circus this sport has become

Both hype and unnecessary early evaluation as well.. She has not even played 1 GS event after she has won her 1st. 🤷‍♂️ Give her an year.

Nay. WTA is unpredictable.

I believe is completely justified in that she was effectively a diamond in the rough insofar as she was a very high level player who came out of nowhere and someone who nobody expected to be a player of real significance. I don't think I was alone when i saw her name in the news and thought, "Emma who!??!" Lmfao. She reminds me of a young Federer. Lol

And what is your point? You sound as though you have something against Emma Raducanu. Martina is a professional and she did a fantastic job. She has to be fair and impartial. Who knows, she may be the next best player in the future. All the other young, up and coming players you mentioned, have yet to win a slam, but Emma has one under her belt. she also participated in the same tournament with Barty, Iga and Sabalenka. Where were these players in the final? Barty has been on tour since 2010 and only just won her second slam and stay in the number one spot. For now, my girl Iga is just a one slam wonder. If I were you, I would not mention Kenin or Sabalenka. Kenin won one slam and was never heard from again. Sabalenka again just got beat by a player ranked number 100. She loses to anyone who makes her play tennis, yet she also remains in the top 10. Words matter only when they are negative like whomever posted this channel. Also, women tennis has problems from top to bottom, not just Emma. Try and not to be bias against one player and try and sugar coat it.

Also beauty counts. Not precisely are skills the main attraction.

She was overhyped cause she pretty and wta is boring right now tbh. Also tennis will be done once Rafa, Roger, Williams retire. No one will even care about it. Most Wta matches are half empty stadiums.

Ok but what exactly is the point of this video? She won a grand slam as a qualifier something no one has ever done before. Ever. No one. Ever. So she got a lot of attention 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤣🤣

I think we are underestimating Emma's intelligence...She's way too smart than most players ( men and women ) are..What's happenning is a normal cyle of young players process..She had it made already in life with all those commercial endorsments and special engagaments. But we cannot ignore is , she has a tremendous talent and needs time process to peek..And that talent will bloom in two years in my estimation..

You media should leave Emma Raducanu alone. She might be the best in the future. She should win Roland Garros French Open clay court.

The ones who hype you up are the same who knock you down. In tennis and more broadly in life, the are bound to be ups and downs, and Raducanu is yet to experience a significant down. It will happen, and we are possibly witnessing it unfolding right now, but don't bash her too much, or there won't be a chance for her to bounce back.

But I do think Emma will eventually live up to the hype. People forget that this is just her first full year of being on the WTA tour. It takes a lot to play tennis week-in, week-out and travel all over the world to do it. Plus all her endorsements, magazine shoots, interviews etc. must also take up time. Those who chide her for taking on the endorsements, well tennis is an expensive sport, she needs the money to build a good team around her, pay for all their travel expenses, hotels, meals etc. on top of salaries. It took Sharapova 2 years of full time junior tennis plus 1 yr 7 mo's of full time WTA pro tour to win her first major. She didn't even win a single match in her first 2 slams. Emma made it to 4R in her first slam, and won it in her second as a qualifier, without dropping a set, within the first 3 months of her WTA tour, and prior to that, she didn't play a single competition for 18 months due to Covid. It is simply breathtaking what she has achieved. It's understandable that expectations are sky high. As McEnroe said multiple times, you don't win 10 matches in a grand slam as a "fluke", she is the real deal. Once she gets passed this year of growing pains, get her body used to the grind, and get a good team around her including a full time coach and trainer, perhaps a nutritionist, she'll make more history, just wait. She is far from done, she's just getting started.

I don't see her winning a lot of grand slams but time will tell just like the rest of them. What about Paula badosa excetera excetera excetera

Lol!!! A very bold bias comments from a girl friendly commentator.

At last, some common sense amongst the ridiculous nonsense gushed out over this young talent. Give her time (it may take a few years yet) before she can settle into what will be her stride. If of course the silly people making rash predictions allow it.

I think emma will more grand slams but Rome was not built in a day and she should be given the chance to show what she can do over the coming years

Poor Emma! After winning the 2021 U.S. Open she let all her team go saying they did not have WTA experience! Look at her now! Cannot even win her 1 rd. matches now!😞😫😱👎 Looks like she will be another Genie Bouchard in the making here! ☹️ Just no longer a fighter now! She should hire Rafa part time to “never give up” mentality in close matches and how to fight back when you down a couple of games and comeback to win the set. How to play injured. Emma gets a lot of injuries for a 19 year old! Need to workout on her stretching routine too! Basically, Emma hired a coach that got canned by Kerber. Who made this decide to hire her new coach is an idiot! Emma plays better without a tennis coach! Emma is not the same dominating aggressive player she was at the U.S. Open. Now she makes lots of UE, hit the ball with less pace, hits the ball back at her opponent in the middle of the court just to setup a finishing shot back that she has to try to return on the run and it usually a short floater. She now serves down the T or to the forehand in the add side and the returner just moves to hit it back with lots of pace to her in the open court! In addition, Emma hitting the ball with more topspin and at a slower pace. Her opponent easily move to meet it. Her matches for the most part are all long, 3 set matches too! Emma seems to be running out of juice to fight back! Emma now is a pusher and retriever tennis player. No longer an aggressive all court player that won her the U.S. Open. 😂

Had an easy draw

Emma ❤ whatever you’re doing in tennis court don’t ever open the merchandise , perry u with u 😂

there was one bloke who called her the "talent of the Century" 🤦‍♂

Radacanu is trying to be the women's version or answer to Nadal. She's trying to go so hard in matches she's forcing herself to retire, making simple errors and causing injuries that will cause her career to end early. The reason I use Nadal in comparison was simply being a fan since he turned prop I always remember everyone saying how much damage he's doing to his body with his style of play. Look now, he's still winning major grand slams and has blown even djokovic in his prime away but those early days have really taken a toll on him. He's needing numbing injections before playing, his shoulders, ribs, back and his feet have received unrecoverable damage that's going to make him retire earlier than some others like Federer. She needs to take time, understand tennis and becoming a great in the sport takes time and patience. Play to your strengths and not to the crowd and fans, before those 2 weeks she hadn't won any major competition and just turned pro. The mindset she had was simply, get as far as I can and even getting past round 1 would be a positive. She needs to drop the expectations that she's going to win or make it to the semi finals or last 16 everytime she plays, don't play with an intensity that's going to cause irreversible damage because not everyone can continue like Nadal has. Time is key, patience is key and self preservation is sports like tennis are the key elements that allow you to develop ad a player. The British public have this uncanny ability to apply such pressure to our tennis players that every single one of them foil and crumble, even Andy Murray after his Wimbledon win never achieved the same greatness, yes he still became sensational and won other tournaments but the British expected him to hit the heights of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic and expected him to play with an intensity that again caused him to make fatal errors towards his health that hindered his game. The duffernece, Nadal and others didn't have the same pressure applied to them by the world's eyes, only the pressure they apply to themselves to win and progress in this sport

That story was boring and preachy. No one cares what Baseline Tennis thinks of what Martina says. Stop inventing stories for the sake of content.
