QUOTES OF THE DAY

“I’ve always dreamed of winning a grand slam. You say, ‘I want to win a grand slam’, but to have the belief I did, and actually executing, winning a grand slam, I can’t believe it”

Emma Raducanu, 18, on winning the US Open “It is a remarkable achievement at such a young age, and is testament to your hard work and dedication. I have no doubt your outstanding performance, and that of your opponent Leylah Fernandez, will inspire the next generation of tennis players”

The Queen congratulates Raducanu “Days ago, the vaccine minister stood before Parliament to confirm the introduction of Covid passports and stress their importance, now they’ve been scrapped. This is the culmination of a summer of chaos from ministers and they urgently need to get a grip before winter”
