Sorry, jigjag, I haven't got anywhere with that. I am blaming it on the ugly 'U' in the middle, that put me off!

I think it might be a rather topical reference...

Thanks, ChrisE. Too many years of the Times puzzles, no reference to living people! I've got it now.

Thanks, Jigjag - only 9 out of 10 because of that U.

The clue definitely doesn’t rise to the level of the young lady herself.

Thanks Jigjag

I thought it was a brilliant topical clue. We have had "U" in the Times, as well as texts, so it is certainly allowed.

You were right to forecast the drama, and predict the result. Well done.

Thanks for your high mark, very kind of you. I would have settled for a pass mark of 4 out of 10.

I must apologise for the ugly U in the clue. I know you are a fan of tennis and texts. I was going to send you a text with the clue, when I realised that I don't have a mobile phone, and I don't know how to send a text anyway. So I thought I should post it here. I hope you enjoyed watching the match.

That's very kind of you. I hope that knowing the result did not spoil it for you.

I particularly liked the surface. Really enjoyed the match.

I didn't like the surface. I prefer grass.

Major blemish in the Raducanu victory speech: 'I hope me and Laylah put on a good show...'

How's that for nitpicking?

Maths and Economics clearly the wrong A Levels for her.

Anyway, well done, Emma!

Yes it was disappointing to hear that.
