Had to qualify, won 10 straight matches and didn't drop a set. Never done before and doubt it will be repeated. Extraordinary!

She needs to be protected from media hunt and toxic tabloid culture. We have to let her grow at her own pace and realize that she's not public property.
Well done, Emma!

[dxprt]

Her smile is infectious. She’s so poised and articulate, so likable, . What an achievement! 👏👏👏

As a fairly cynical almost 70 year old who has become quite world-weary over the past couple of years I have to say that this charming young lady has cheered me up enormously. Can't stop smiling every time I see her. What a refreshing distraction from all our problems.

[thomasmain]

Emma's resting face is just short of a smile, that's why she smiles so easilly. Some people naturally frown and its several phases to bring their faces around to a smile. Its part of her childhood, clearly a happy one, she was a lovable child, with loving parents. Good for her.

I watched every single one of Emma's matches from Rd 1 onwards and I was amazed at how generous she was to the fans. She happily signed every autograph, took every selfie, chatted with anyone who said anything to her and gave away all her towels and wrist bands. Every single round. It got to the point where the officials had to force her off the court because there was another match about to start. Just a genuinely kind, humble, and selfless person. Trust me, not all players are like this.

she's a champion, she talks, she handles her emotions, the lights, the 18! Isn't that refreshing

She's so lovely, carries herself well and is very poised. So charismatic. Her game was really impressive, her serving and returning in particular... She's basically also a marketing dream.

[lukedaley]

You’ve made me and the rest of the UK proud, Emma.👏🏾🇬🇧🇬🇧

[liamg]

Please God protect this wonderful young lady from the media and let her live her life.

[DanielFernandez]

Smiling through this whole interview, good for her.

I'm really impressed with Emma's tennis skills, but I'm even more impressed with how articulate and well spoken she is for someone so young. It's great to have a new tennis star emerged, one who doesn't screech on every shot. She has the game to get to the top and will definitely win a few more majors for sure.

[gerrymontgomery]

No words could describe what she has done, it's unreal, she is an amazing talent

[abadullahkhan]

She is so natural in all ways. No rhetorics at all and seems just herself, be it on or off the court, winning or loosing (a game that is, still to loose a match in a grand slam)

[sarahskygazer]

She doesnt start every sentence with ummmm, nor intersperse sentences with like, like, like. She speaks so well, so polite, its so refreshing to see and hear her speak.

[julesforsyth]

What a lovely young lady. So well spoken, so mature, so collected. I havent followed tennis for a few years and never heard of her. Wow, the new star has made her mark with a bang.

[dazza]

A very humble young lady, that's refreshing.

[ppuhtfrz]

She's so mature and well rounded and *SHE SPEAKS FLUENT MANDARIN!!*
She'll earn far more off court than she will on it and good luck to her!!

[surfwriter]

Her smile is incandescent, brighter because of the person behind it. She's such a poised, sweet, grounded and articulate young woman, more than just a beauty who charms with her looks. Her performance at the US Open was amazing--powerful groundstrokes, variety, guile and heart. I hope this is just the start for her and not a one-off. But it will be hard for her to top what she's already accomplished, and the media buzz around her will be challenging for her to tune out.

[charliechaz]

She is just lovely and has class.. What a great role model she is.
