I’m a little emotional. Great match. Fernandez fighting like hell but Raducanu just too much on fire.

This is pretty unprecedented for Britisher sport, to have a Champion like this!

No tennis expert but Raducanu just seems different, real eye of the tiger stuff, ice cold with it

No qualifier has ever won a slam. Fewest attempts by a woman at slam events before bagging one.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 11 September 2021 23:09 (four years ago)
great match, would have been happy with either result but can understand fernandez’s frustration with raducanu’s “medical” time-out to bandage her boo-boo, potentially that was actually illegal tho idk the rules exactly and I didn’t have sound at the bar I was watching

Commentary said the match had to be stopped as she was bleeding
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 11 September 2021 23:13 (four years ago)
Whaddaya want, blood? Yes, she was bleeding.

From the first point that was a cracker. Unexpectedly had to pick up 14yo from a non-sleepover so the second set was watched on my phone, with police helicopters overhead (Wireless Festival just ended), walking in the dark across SE19. Home just in time for the shin graze and the medical t/o.
Really hope Fernandez wins a major soon... taking out Kerber, Osaka, Svitolina and Sabalenka and it still not being enough.
I guess the pandemic is a big part of the surprise factor here; in another timeline, the tour isn't suspended for six months, Emma R decides not to sideline tennis to finish her A-levels, and by now she's top 40 with a raft of solid tour-level results behind her. She was getting better the whole time though!
