Women's Draw
Men's Draw
Some interesting first round matches!
Hope it's a good tournament, with no limitations on crowd size there should be a great atmosphere.
Yes it absolutely is fecking stupid. It's so disrespectful to the players to distract them from their impending match to have to deal with the media.
Fernandez breaks back!
This is a really fun match so far.
Raducanus first serve not looking great....back on serve
Well Fernandez needed to win that third game.
2-2 first set.
Raducanu had couple of double faults I remember very few in her other matches
Emma's knees are uncontrollably wobbling while she's sitting down
There won't be many easy service points here.
Definitely not though some erratic first serves as they are both going pretty big, both good returners
Fernandez slightly shading it for me....you can tell she has had some serious battles to get to the final...making Raducanu work for most points
The amount of the crowd on their phones, even a lady there fistpumping a Fernández point after popping her head up from her phone because of the cheers.
I do realise I'm on my phone here, anyways some really great tennis so far.
Looks like it will be a war of attrition.
I saw that...quite sad really ..your literally at a historic US Open final!
It's gonna be a battle, some serious hitting from both, really good match for me
it was @glasso I think who said that people at the US open go there to be seen.
Each player is dreading serving it feels. They much rather receive the ball
Huge game, I think who ever makes it to 5 games first wins the set .
I don't blame them...they can both blast a return!
Raducanu holds to 15 for 5-4, easiest service game by either player so far.
I keep thinking I'm hearing the net getting clipped on serves, yet its not as no calls.
Seriously good match this! Top notch hitting.
5-4 Raducanu
Very little between them so far.
Ferny under pressure to serve to save the set now, biggest game so far.
Maybe they should give the line judges microphones, like the ref. Anyway, that always looked out, it was way too high and top was never gonna get it back in.
I thought that was just me...same in other matches tbh
Two set points for Raducanu...
One set point now....
Fernandez saved them!
A third one for Raducanu....and on a second serve....missed...
Raducanu takes set!!!
First set Emma, with nerves, took 4 tries
Raducanu takes the set at the fourth attempt with a brilliant FH DTL.
Well that will stand to Raducanu because that’s the biggest test she’s had.
That was a must win game for Raducanu. If she lost that she would have lost the set.
