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

[Tennis Fan States63]

Too good......and Emma Raducanu is your Ladies' US Open champion for 2021.......well done.

I'm sure she's disappointed, but a heck of a run/tournament for Leylah Fernandez as well.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Still talking
Won’t be giving blood I guess

 

[SinneGOAT]

Leylah still complaining about the MTO, she just didn’t see the skid.

 

[bezs]

Stuff that dreams are made of, well done by Emma.

 

[Hitman]

Congratulations Raducanu!!!!

Both players put on a show.

 

[Bogdan_TT]

God, Fernandez is still ******** about the MTO… what a character…

 

[SonicNirvana]

Fernan isn't a Witch but just annoying

 

[MeatTornado]

What a maze to reach the player's box.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

I really wanted Emma to win!!!! This is AMAZING!

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Lol Nav saying it was Fernandez fault Emma was bleeding

 

[Magneto89]

Thank God! Leylahs fist pumping and fake smiling were so annoying

 

[Krish872007]

What a win!! Remarkable, what a day for British tennis!!

 

[Fedeonic]

Not a fan of the Fernandez forced smirk and fistpumpery.

And I was criticized for hating Leylah for that. Seems that I'm not the only one who thinks that.

 

[James P]

I genuinely think Emma is not a "flash-in-the-pan."

 

[-NN-]

I've got a nice villain to root against now for the future in LAF. She will serve her role very well and heighten the drama and entertainment factor of my viewing experience.

 

[TheAssassin]

Would have sucked if she lost from such a commanding position. Looked really dangerous after that bloody slip. Glad she regrouped quickly.

Never heard of her before and she dropped no sets to win this Slam. All the way from qualifying rounds. What a stunning run...

 

[aldeayeah]

Wow - Emma is the Titspas of Tennis. A cheater. Unbelievable.

Yeah she abraded her knee until it bled, halfway through a point that would get her MP, in order to fake a MTO. Please.

 

[Fedeonic]

Again a teenager wins a major by not losing a set and not even losing more than 4 games per set. Iga Swiatek and now Emma Raducanu in less than a year.

 

[NoleFam]

Congrats to Raducanu! This is great for British tennis. What a run and what a story. I think she's an humble player with a beautiful spirit and really happy she pulled it off. First time a qualifier wins a Slam. Leyla had a great torunament and she's a good player but her behavior there at the end will not endear a lot of people. Just very poor and shows she has some growing up to do.

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN

 

[phl92]

This face, this body, I will watch more WTA tennis from now on

 

[SinneGOAT]

Emma or Leylah? I’m not a fan of Leylah after this, the fake smiling and fist pumping worse than Anderson puts me off.

Lol Nav saying it was Fernandez fault Emma was bleeding

Right? I need to find a foreign feed or something. Good performance, but this is going to be unbearable to listen to now.

 

[MeatTornado]

I'm still trying to figure out what match you were watching.

 

[itrium84]

Qualifier loses zero sets on her way to a title! What a fairy tale! OMG

 

[Bogdan_TT]

And I was criticized for hating Leylah for that. Seems that I'm not the only one who thinks that.

No mate, she’s fake. Karen in the making

 

[James P]

New #23 in the world, Emma Raducanu, didn't even make the cut for Indian Wells (yeah, she'll get a wild card, duh).

 

[mightyrick]

Leylah still complaining about the MTO, she just didn’t see the skid.

This is where the emotions get the best of players and it makes them look really bad. I'm sure afterwards, Fernandez will regret and probably even apologize for it. It's not like it was gamesmanship by Raducanu. She was bleeding down her leg and it was on her own serve.

It's not Raducanu's fault that the trainer took five minutes to clean the wound and apply a patch that would hold.

 

[Bud]

She had no choice but to stop and get that wound closed. It was bleeding heavily down her leg. Blood would have been all over the court.

 

[JadeC]

Blood, sweat, and tears, leaving it all out there. Congrats to Raducanu!

Emma or Leylah? I’m not a fan of Leylah after this, the fake smiling and fist pumping worse than Anderson puts me off.

Leylah.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Incredible. Just incredible.

What a star.

 

[TennisFan3]

you obviously do not know that if there is blood it has to be taken care of immediately.

LOL - it was a surface graze. It wasn't an emergency.
She took FREAKING 5+ mins of MTO. How much time does a freaking bandage take - 30 sec tops.
Fact - she would have been broken. And Fernandez lost all momemntum.

Emma played amazing tennis sure. But she should have done it without the GAMESMANSHIP.

 

[Legend of Borg]

I've got a nice villain to root against now for the future in LAF. She will serve her role very well and heighten the drama and entertainment factor of my viewing experience.

Finally a WTA villain to root against.

feelsgoodman

 

[JLyon]

I would give LF a pass on the end of the match, she is 19 y.o. in first final and watch a BP slip away. She will have her chance, let her get it off her chest, no reason for the hate.

 

[gn]

I am glad that Emma came out on top after missing those CPs and the fall. It's always heartbreaking to see someone lose after having CPs.

 

[I Am Finnish]

A challenger wins a slam for the first time without losing a set

 

[-NN-]

Finally a WTA villain to root against.

feelsgoodman

Man... this is a great day.

 

[chrischris]

Splendid match that. Got a bit nervy toward the end but the Emma girl had the day.

 

[PilotPete]

Leyla just had no answer to the serve out wide and then FH down the line. Bad.

 

[UW_Husky88]

Are Emma and Leylah actually the heights they're listed at? Both look tiny. Leylah definitely doesn't look 5'6

 

[Bogdan_TT]

This is where the emotions get the best of players and it makes them look really bad. I'm sure afterwards, Fernandez will regret and probably even apologize for it. It's not like it was gamesmanship by Raducanu. She was bleeding down her leg and it was on her own serve.

She will regret being caught. This is where the true self shows off. Fernandez just sucks

 

[AM75]

Piers Morgan will go nuts, because he believes Raducanu became a better player after he criticised her in his sh*tty Daily Mail column.

 

[itrium84]

Leyla's reaction to MTO a little bit disappointing, but I forgive her for her beautiful smile

 

[SinneGOAT]

Definitely, crying doesn’t put you in a calm and collected mindset.

I'll give her the befit of the doubt - in that she didn't see the amount of blood running down Radacanu's leg.

I was the first who noted that Fernandez is hateable. Great to see people joining the Leylah hating bandwagon.

 

[Kralingen]

Emma USO peak is comparable to Serena's, statistically at least

Get real
