Tennis Commentary & Why Words Matter

Even before Emma Raducanu's dramatic success at Flushing meadows in 2021, we were told, by former legends of the game, that there were 'no holes in her game', that she was a 'future hall-of-famer' and that she would be a 'multiple Grand Slam' champion.'

But what happens if she fails to meet these red-hot expectations?

Shouldn't the tennis world better manage its expectations for its young champions?

And, whilst hype from the press is inevitable – shouldn't ex-players be more considerate and balanced in their praise?

After all, Raducanu is at the very start of her career, which can take many twists and turns.
