  3. Emma comes across as a lovely person who takes nothing in life for granted.
    Clearly has talent and we haven’t seen the best of her yet.
    One forgets she is only 19 years old when you see her play on court.
    I was sad to see her not get through to the next round at Wimbledon, but she sees it as part of her learning curve.
    She will be back.
    We haven’t seen the last of this up and coming tennis professional
