    And she won it......
    They’ll be claiming her now.
    Incredible achievement.

    Phenomenal achievement

    Safe to say that’s SPOTY sewn up.

    Smart of Amazon to allow Channel 4 to show it and give the proceeds to women's tennis.
    They've got the rights to show the rest of it and this will gain them viewers in the long run.
    Nice that youngsters who are into tennis will have been able to watch it, though.

    Our dickhead Prime Minister made a very public show of asking why Amazon couldn't air it for free

    Somebody needs to sit him down and explain to him how subscription services don't really have a "free" option

    And then sit him down again and suggest not trying to privatise the channel who ended up showing it for free just because they do a journalism

    And, of course, somebody tried to make Emma Raducanu's victory all about themselves...

    Raducanu worked harder for her money than Rees Mogg and Johnson did for any of theirs

    "I tell you what I wouldn't want my teenager left with a cheque for 2.5 million dollars"
    What she means is, "I'd be pocketing that".

    Is that her? I'm sure I've seen that before, quite a while ago and the quality makes it impossible to tell.
    She does play though, apparently:

    Genuine question: did William Hill ads start using Sweet Caroline because it was being sung at sporting events, or did people start singing Sweet Caroline at sporting events because it's used in a William Hill ad and that's the sort of Pavlovian dystopia we now live in?

    It is incredible, as for SPOTY, lots of people saying that and she probably will be - But Jason Kenny still gets my vote

    Yes. Pavlov’s dog is alive and well - unlike Schroedinger’s cat.
    Having just seen a fat woman in a nurse’s uniform, I’m off to do a spot of clapping.

    Stunning, but the record books won't even acknowledge Cox's contribution.
    T20 has been a great addition to the game - whatever the purists might say.
    There are players worth their place for their fielding alone - and the likes of Chris Jordan, George Garton and others who can contribute much with all three disciplines are worth their weight in gold.

    Still find it baffling that Parrott and Bennett didn't get credited with assists yesterday...
