2021 US Open Women's Final: [Q] Emma Raducanu (GBR) vs Leylah Annie Fernandez (CAN)

[-NN-]

Read it.

 

[PrinceMoron]

The unusual points causing problems

 

[Kralingen]

Such a sad way to get broken. Silly from Fernandez. I think she's cracking finally mentally

 

[bluetrain4]

Wow

 

[El_Yotamo]

And now an ace, Emma playing incredibly

 

[Mr.Lob]

Ahhhh. Should have gone backhand.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Emma just in the zone now

 

[BoxbeamsFTW]

Leylah looks like she could be in serious trouble now....

I wanted it to go 3 sets.

 

[Sudacafan]

Are you privy to some private information about Leylah that I am not?

Jorge Fernández, father and trainer of Leylah Fernandez.

 

[Kralingen]

no joke Raducanu plays like 2011 Djokovic on return lol. Still can't believe this is a qualifier.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Well Leylah will love this anyway. She has thrived in this kind of tussle

 

[NoleFam]

Was that Normani? Raducanu is two games away.

 

[Fedeonic]

LAF's Dad is her coach and he is back home watching remotely.

Her dad is Ecuadorian? That's what I've somewhat heard.

 

[Bubcay]

What a story for Emma. The only one who played here for 3 weeks.

 

[chrischris]

Low quality WTA match. Can't believe it's a slam final.

Its a practise match of course besides these are 2 men in their late 80s. You dont fool us, dude.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Not at all fazed playing a lefty

 

[Jack the Hack]

Or so the mom says...

That's what I was thinking...

 

[Sysyphus]

Jorge Fernández, father and trainer of Leylah Fernandes.

just quipping about gender pronouns, m'lady

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

It seems to be all ogre now

 

[Permitlady]

Raducanu vs Murray
British history

 

[alexio]

 

[James P]

One game away

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

4 games in a row! One game away from the championship!

 

[RaulRamirez]

no joke Raducanu plays like 2011 Djokovic on return lol. Still can't believe this is a qualifier.

You have to start somewhere, right, but she is a MAJOR talent.

 

[Fedeonic]

Emma Raducanu just one game away for breaking the 44 year curse of female Brits not winning majors.

 

[itrium84]

Emma is such a dominant force!

 

[PrinceMoron]

Could have been all over really

 

[Gumbo Jackson]

What a dominant performance by Radacanu. One game away.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Boy, I did not see that happening - four games in a row?!?!?

 

[Deleted member 771911]

I think that’s it. But one of the best straight sets slam finals surely.

 

[El_Yotamo]

One game away from 20 sets in a row to take the USO. Imagine that

 

[Hitman]

Raducanu is incredible

 

[Pavla]

So conflicted. Happy for Emma to win, but don't want Leylah to lose.

 

[BoxbeamsFTW]

Not at all fazed playing a lefty

They've played before as juniors though. They're so close in age that it was going to happen.

 

[ibbi]

Andy Whoray?

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Can Emma make it five games in a row or will she have to serve it out?

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Please Virginia Wade to hand the trophy over

 

[PrinceMoron]

Show us what you’ve got

 

[Sysyphus]

a us open trophy is one thing, but more importantly there is a spoty award on the line here people

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

I predicted a straight set victory for Emma, looks like it will probably happen...

 

[Sudacafan]

just quipping about gender pronouns, m'lady

No hay problemo.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Doing it all right

 

[MadariKatu]

Not at all fazed playing a lefty

Her coach is lefty, or so they said in eurosport

 

[Bubcay]

The first qualifyer ever to win a major? Yes? What a story. Emma has got this.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Walked away from that hit

 

[-NN-]

We're going 3 sets let's be honest here.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Excellent point! Remember that she missed a similar shot in the first set!

 

[alexio]

I predicted a straight set victory for Emma, looks like it will probably happen...

goat

 

[Fedeonic]

It seems that Fernandez checked out mentally.

 

[James P]

It's nuts. A win here will make her go from #150 to #23 in the rankings. Extended back to pre-Wimbledon, it was something like #330. All time "Cinderella" type story.
