The 18 year old Emma Raducanu who is still waiting on her A levels was subject to some harsh criticism from Piers Morgan on twitter as the young English girl crashed out in the quarter finals to the hands of Ajla Tomljanović, Raducanu has had an incredible breakthrough tournament, but yet Piers Morgan feels the need to make public that she lacks ‘bottle’ the former Good Morning Britain presenter certainly loves the attention.
McEnroe told the truth. Ms Raducuna’s a talented player but couldn’t handle the pressure & quit when she was losing badly. Not ‘brave’, just a shame. If I were her, I’d tell my fans to stop abusing McEnroe, & seek his advice on how to toughen up & become a champion like he was. https://t.co/zS06yevfav

Boris Becker won Wimbledon at 17….. by showing incredible mental strength & resilience in early rounds. It’s what you need to be a sporting champion. https://t.co/ejEF4hZaP6

Mental strength and resilience are not dirty words. They’re good things that need to be taught, nurtured, encouraged & celebrated from school onwards. This would be immeasurably easier if so many high profile people stopped playing the victim.

It happened to me playing for the national team in U16s against Wales. I remember it to this day. No explanation for it and it never happened again. You should be very proud of yourself. The country is proud of you. Glad to read your feeling better. Onwards and upwards 🎾🏴 https://t.co/sokkubBlLN
