Brilliant from Emma. Hopefully this is the first of several grand slams. Leyla played too and impressed with her speech at the end.

Btw, I’ve noticed Annabel Croft seems to have been ditched from punditry in recent days after the hatchet job she did on Emma’s exit from
Wimbledon.

She was on the other night, so she's still around.

Amazon went with Hantuchova & Keothavong though as they've been singing Emma's praises all tournament.

Over the moon for Emma. She is a winner and has that killer look in her eyes. She reminds me of when i first saw Tiger woods all them years ago just that coolness so so special she is .. So pleased for her and can see her winning everything. Its great for british tennis a massive boost!

An absolute quality match to watch. Well done to both young ladies for that performance. Huge congratulations to Emma for coming out on top. Undoubtedly the 1st of many and to be the first to win a major as a qualifier is a great achievement.

Just recovering from that astounding final.
Emma, brilliant.
Fernandez almost as good.
Wonderful tennis, tension filled.
Well done Emma, marvellous.
Her aggression was the key.
As Richie Benaud once said, I'm just off to catch up with Boys Own Paper. 18 year olds just don't win US open in their first few tournaments.
Back to the Malbec.

And there'll be plenty more of that.

The whole thing is weird. She’s lived in Britain for all but 2 years of her life. She’s British.

Unless we can count Haaland as English then football will be coming home next year.

Unless she lost. In which case as is tradition, she's Scottish.
