Back
in July, during Wimbledon, I wrote a long essay (it was far too long to just be
called ‘a posting’) about Emma Raducanu’s mini meltdown during the
Championships, and how I felt it might affect her mentally moving forward. I never
read these blogs again after I’ve posted them online, but I seem to remember
saying she would never fully recover and that her experience on Centre Court
would come back to haunt her every time she got near the end of a tournament.
Two months
later, she has won the US Open. As an 18-year-old qualifier.
Making
mistakes is how we learn as humans, and getting things wrong is how we grow, so
I like being wrong sometimes.
And I
don’t think I’ve ever been wronger.
