Teenager accused of strangling college administrator mother to death
OED gives the etymology from educare and the base Latin form would be educo but this had/has two different senses. The first is the rearing or raising of children, livestock, comparable to modern sense, and the second is to draw or lead out, to bring before a court, to raise, to bring up the rear, etc. I like what the second sense brings with the image of a civilized human being being drawn out of a great ape with a language facility.
Only in dance really. That was demonstrated quite brilliantly in this 75-minute annihilation of Elise Mertens to reach the third round. At times it resembled an act of bullying, such was the quality of a fallen star whose summer form is starting to hint at a sustained revival. Subject Perdicate? ‘I think some things are a once-in-a-lifetime memory,’ Raducanu said. ‘At the end of my life, when I’m like 70, I know I’m going to have that memory of playing Wimbledon with Andy Murray.
It was an honour to be asked. To go by her own words, a ‘dream came true’ in the morning, when it was confirmed she would pair with Andy Murray for the mixed doubles, before she then sprinted further away from recent nightmares in the evening. Her next opponent will be the ninth seed Maria Sakkari, who Raducanu swatted aside in the US Open semi-finals way back when. The question is which Raducanu will turn up on Friday – the one who demolished Mertens or the one who needed to ‘win ugly’ in the first round?
The version from the Mertens match would be a tremendous handful. Barring two poor points to open the match – a ballooned forehand and a double fault – Raducanu was flawless. With 76 per cent of her first serves hitting their mark, she faced and survived only two break points in moving 5-0 ahead and then closing for 6-1. If the tale of the past three years tells us anything, it is that Raducanu has already undergone a vast education since the most astonishing of starts.
Some of the problems have had more than a whiff of self-creation about them; others, particularly the injuries, can be traced to bad luck. But still she attracts a crowd like few others in these parts and there is considerable excitement about where this run will lead in a favourable side of the draw. Her success through that period was built on an elevated level in moments of tension. For the first of those break points, at 2-0 up, Raducanu impressively manoeuvred Mertens into a mistake; for the second, at 5-1, she was battered across a long rally before sucking Mertens to the net and then passed her with a backhand.
The craft of her approach can be underrated. Raducanu was relentless, which could be applied equally to her serving, groundstrokes and control of the big moments in a match that was closer than the scores suggest. Most of the games were competitive, but almost all of them were bent to Raducanu’s will on Court No 1. After all those difficult and painful months, it would appear that karma wishes to repay a few debts to Emma Raducanu. If ever there was proof of her fortunes swinging to the good, then it was found on Wednesday at these championships.
