It's been a good year for British tennis with Emma Raducanu winning the US Open and Cameron Norrie winning the Indian Wells Masters.
Both of those tennis players have had a breakout year in 2021 with both entering the top 30 for the first time in their careers. For Raducanu, the achievement is even more impressive as the Brit is essentially playing her first season on the tour while Norrie has a few in already. Either way, Norrie was asked about Raducanu at the BNP Paribas Open and he spoke highly of his fellow Brit.
He said:
"That was utterly incredible what she did in New York. To come through qualifying and just go out and whack every opponent. She won in straight sets and to do that at such a young age and with that kind of confidence, it was extremely impressive."
Norrie is obviously not the only one who praised Raducanu as the Brit received widespread praise from many former and current tennis players. After all, she did something that has never been done before and regardless of the circumstances that deserves praise.
Norrie further said:
"It's definitely going to give girls with a similar ranking a lot of confidence and a lot of belief. I was inspired by her and it's huge for British tennis. It's for sure going to put a lot of racquets in hands here back home in the UK."

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
