Yes. She has the weapons: a decent serve, good ground strokes, mobility and, most important, the aggression that enables her to take charge.

Kinda like City. Although more like ten minutes. A couple of games wouldn't be very useful.

Incredible, already up there as a major achievement, last person to do that as a quali at US Open was Chris Evert.
She has won more prize money in ten weeks than *Heather Watson in ten years.
Fantastic temperament, real guts, a Steffi-like, high toss serve, which slides wide.
For me, though, she already has the tools.
Her technique is pretty much there, she gets down amazingly low for the return and wants to play first-strike tennis, which is brilliant to see.
Fear she might have a problem against a big server who takes the racquet out of her hands, but the women's game is opening right up and Emma is only gonna get stronger and fitter.
That forehand down the line is an absolute ripper and her in-game thought processes remind a little of Hingis.
Well done, girl!!

The real deal. Nothing more to say. Just incredible.
The real deal.
Think she now holds the record with McEnroe for most matches won at a 1 grand slam (8). She's the first qualifier to make the semi final at the US Open.
No qualifier has ever made the final, in any grand slam...time to make history Emma.
Pliskova (seeded 4) or Sakkari (seeded 17) up next.
