Well I watched quite a bit of the Mubadala match. Was I the only one. ? Emma played very well. Nice to see her again.
I know it was only an exhibition match but thought there would still be a thread.
Anyone can put up a thread, Dodrade, give it a go next time if one is missing! Just click start a new topic in the correct section and off you go!
I think no threads were put up this time because, like last weeks Saudi event which Cam played (as he did this event as well) they are just exhibitions and therefore dont have official status. There are lots of exhibitions through the year incl events in Britain like Boodles etc that dont have threads.

Very good to hear that both she played well and was apparently perfectly fit after the wrist injury so hopefully getting in some good close season work with the new coach.

A bit more news about the new coach. Sebastian Sachs, never heard of him (not that that means much!). Perhaps, since he's only 30, he'll connect better with Emma & manage to keep the family & other interferers at bay...

Only just watched it as someone kindly put up a Youtube video of the match in Emma's section on TennisForum.
I thought Emma's aggressive approach was encouraging. Her return of Jabeur's 2nd serve was good most of the time, backhand down the line better than expected, a couple of delightful volleys though a shocking drive volley miles long. Lost the vast majority of the longer rallies, serve ok but lacking the good serves at key moments that featured in her Slam run.

1) Naomi Osaka: $51.1 million
2) Serena Williams: $41.3 million
3) Eileen Gu: $20.1 million
4) Emma Raducanu: $18.7 million
5) Iga witek: $14.9 million
Naomi Osaka's mental health issues are well documented, the Times article says she played a reduced schedule last year yet is top of the earnings tables because of working with 20(!) corporate partners. I dont follow Naomi much, does she attract criticism for this in the way that Emma has?
