I see Eddie Jones is in hot water for criticising her lifestyle after winning the open.
Hard to say isn't it. It all happened so fast she's probably feeling the pressure and weight of expectation at the moment. Something that she'll need to get over.
Eddie Jones was misinformed with his comments. The fashion shoot or front cover magazine thing, is what he said was the cause of her recent losses because it’s a distraction apparently. The photo shoot was done before the US Open
I saw someone saying Pete Sampras went a year without winning anything after winning his first slam at 19 and 3 years before he won another grand slam.
It’s a massive readjusting period, more so for Emma as she’s only played a handful of games at this level.
There will be a blip soon I suspect simply because the pressure and spotlight is different. The media haven’t ever learnt about how to treat rising stars so like
@Rado_N said, she will probably be torn down soon.
I believe her latest loss was to a player who used to beat her all the time in the juniors too, so it shouldn’t be a massive surprise. Sometimes a player just has your number even if they’re lower ranked.
