Two huge results in the early hours
18 year old Carlos Alcaraz upsets the No.3 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas
18 year old Leylah Fernandez upsets the No.3 seed Naomi Osaka
Osaka looks finished if you ask me. I totally get the mental health bit, but at the top level of sport that's part of the game. You can be the best player in the world, but if you don't have your head in teh right place no skill can overcome that. It's part of the game and indeed any sport.

All pro tennis players have been under pressure to perform from an early age. At 23 she's just a child really. But she knows more about pressure than any of us. But perhaps the "unparalelled support" she believes surrounds her aren't the right thing at the moment.This tweet suggests she has issues that she has never dealt with and its finally caught up with her.Euler wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 8:04 amTwo huge results in the early hours

That tweet suggests to me she needs a professional mental health practioner to help.
Mental health problems are as (or more) deblitating as any illness.
The only good thing is mental issues can always be fixed with the right help. She should seek that help out and her support team should have already arranged that.
Had too much going on to post as much as I normally do during a Grand Slam but had to post about Raducanu after she secured a placing in the semi's earlier.
After that surprising performance at Wimbledon which resulted in her pulling out in Rd4 when nerves got the better its fantastic to see her come back in a better frame of mind and looking even better
Some might say she's had an easy run to only have to beat one seeded player - but then again this is only her second Grand Slam and technically she's never been beaten in one yet so fingers crossed that lasts for her next two matches

Couldn't watch it live but was keeping an eye on the score in the watch list. Had a little cheer when she held serve to take the match.Dallas wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 10:32 pmHad too much going on to post as much as I normally do during a Grand Slam but had to post about Raducanu after she secured a placing in the semi's earlier.
