There’s a lot of middle aged men who have never shown an interest in women’s tennis before raving about her. Odd that.She was taken into British hearts last year at Wimbledon Bob, even though she had to retire with exhaustion/anxiety etc.
I take your point, but in individual sport it's usually people who do well that get noticed.
I think the reason Emma is getting so much attention is that she's an 18 year old qualifier who has won a grand slam and looks like she could get to the very top in her sport.
I'd have raved about her if she was from Outer *****lia mate.
To be fair, they might have been interested when Sharapova was in her prime as well.
