Fantastic achievement.

Is the women’s game poor with two qualifiers in the final or is it a Leicester 2016 anomaly tournament?

 

[mccity]

What a great match btw. Some fantastic tennis from both of them.

Why is it that Emma comes across as a down to earth likeable kid, and Leylah comes across as a spoilt brat who's angry she didn't get the toy she wanted?

Too close to the yank border.

 

[bluealf]

Fantastic finish.

Wow.

Did you manage on the long or short stroke?

 

[blue by birth]

Bloody brilliant by the kid ..really enjoyed watching it..
Wouldn't fancy arm wrestling that female security guard..

 

[mcfcsamm]

She's a future star.

Smashing backhand, smashing backdoors.

she’s already a star.

That security guy is a bit full of himself

I'd slap the bald cunts head if he threw me to one side like that haha!

 

[homerdog]

That's impressive!

Fernandez time will come, I didn't like her attitude at the end of that set but she's had a phenomenal tournament and if she's a blue then she'll have the support of many.

Raducanu however was unbelievable all tournament, winning all 20 sets she's played, winning all 10 matches, never been done before and I doubt it'll be done again in my lifetime (hopefully another 70 years).

She's young as well. When you're that competitive you will look for any reason for your loss in the heat of the moment.

I wouldn't look into it too much.

Hope she's free a week or two before Christmas to pick up an award.

 

[bluealf]

She's 19 in her first high pressure situation, it's tough.

I guess the bitching at the umpire has gone against her, if she went away and kept calm it could have been different for her?

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Incredible match from both players. Relentless from start to finish What an amazing story!

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

After years and years of not being very interested in women's tennis, I'm suddenly enthusiastic about it again. And not just because the winner is English.
Something very beautiful has happened here.

I can only do the short.

:(

Neil Diamond in the house!

Wonderful

Grand slam at 17.
Fair play to the girl, she's obviously a grafter.

So near but so far, probably understandable.
