[MCFC1993]

Fast start from Raducanu, 3-0 up.

She's not supposed to be in good form either but hitting her shots as hard and consistent as she was at the US Open.

Fantastic start for Emma Eaducanu. Raced into a 5-0 lead in the first set.

 

[TravisBickle]

Great start. Stephens hasn’t had a sniff
Early days I know..but on this form who’s to say she can’t win another slam!

 

[TravisBickle]

6-0 in 17 minutes!!

Yeah first set 6-0 looking good so far.

I was very close to posting at the start of this that after seeing her play since her victory she could have been a one hit wonder…

Could have looked foolish.

Let’s see how she responds when behind or put under pressure.
