    Not born British mind, as is often the case. Well done though.

    Unbelievable Jeff indeed, great to hear, wish I'd seen it live.

    Will watch the final, the opportunity to win one of tennis' most prestigious titles when she faces Canadian 19-year-old world number 73 Fernandez at 21:00 BST on Saturday.

    She's an amazing talent and she's already putting it to good use, looks like she's going to have a hell of a career.

    Good to watch too, not another hard grafting and effective plodder she's aggressive and constantly goes for winners.

    That makes no difference. She is 100% trained in Britain. She moved here when she was 2. She's British.

    I'm just joshing really. She was brought up British, which is good enough for me. Its when they switch allegiance during their career when it bothers me.

    It's really sad that people want to divert away from what Emma has achieved by banging on about newspapers.

    The Daily Mail seem delighted and only talk about her being British.

    In that case, apologies. Far too many people seem to have to gripe about something, rather than embrace a truly 'feel good' story. Hard to sort the wheat from the chaff at times.

    She sounds British, as you would being here from 2.

    All of her training has been here, and let’s be honest other nations have been pinching sportsmen for years (France and Germany won world cups with teams for of Africans and Poles)

    Looks like a star in the making.
