Same here, I've heard it on most serves so thought it was me.

They should ban phones at it...Christ. just enjoy being at the bloody final!

AllForIt

These women are so athletic, and the match is so fast paced and aggressive as a result. It's great to watch.

Raducanu with fairly easy hold in her first game of second set...good sign

BorneTobyWilde

Ferny can whither away in second set, or fight hard, will be interesting to see which.

gmisk

Raducanu...break points...

Xander10

Farnandez needs to cut the unforced errors that are creeping upwards

gmisk

Wow some guts from Fernandez saving those three break points!

BorneTobyWilde

Emma 3 break points, and a bit hesitate in her concentration to win one.

many are surely there for the tennis but it's New York - some are just going for a day out for one of the big sports days of the year

expensive ticket prices mean more non-hardcore tennis fans I suppose

good standard of hitting which is good to see - even when the odd drive volley is over-egged.

gmisk

Fernandez very lucky with that one...two break points!

gmisk

Raducanu saves them both....this is gonna be a serious battle of a set!

BorneTobyWilde

The way in which both can gather themselves to get back from 0-40 down is incredible, but they should be able to do the same to win those break points, at least win one, and break by playing the numbers game.

Xander10

nice break

gmisk

Fernandez breaks...wow

Augme

Could be a huge two games in the course of the match.

BorneTobyWilde

at 0-40 you should be just getting ball back, make the other hit a winner, or make a mistake.

gmisk

Raducanu has a break point...

gmisk

Raducanu breaks!!! Back on serve

BorneTobyWilde

Pure silence when Emma hits a winner, so silent emma is wondering if it dropped in or out,,, it was in .

Some game that after losing on serve.

I thought it was closer to out, saw the replay and it was a mile in as margins go.

gmisk

Good service game from Raducanu needed that.

Yea it was only the quietness of the crowd that make us , and emma wonder .

Raducanu back in front on serve at 3-2, as "Heart of Glass" takes me back to 1979 ...

Floppybits

Why does it sound like the ball is clipping the net of the serves? Very annoying.

gmisk

Raducanu is looking fired up...

gmisk

Two break points for Raducanu...massive!
