Grand Slam US Open 2021

Not as if Sakkari is playing badly either

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Raducanu might be the best player in the world already.

Unbelievable.

Raducanu might be the best player in the world already.

Unbelievable.

Everything already looks spot on; imagine when the physicality reaches its peak.

That being said, 6-1 doesn't do justice to how the match is actually going.

Nope, and that's the key. Both players doing well but here we are at 6-1.

 

[matt_897]

I still feel Sakkari is going to make a match of this

 

[Gigantic]

She hasn't even dropped a set yet this entire US Open

 

[RobbyRoy]

Nope, and that's the key. Both players doing well but here we are at 6-1.

Not representative of the competitiveness of Sakkari, but definitely reflects well on Raducanu on the big points.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Oh Canada!!!

probably the biggest run by a super young unknown player since Ostapenko. Have a feeling she will stick around a little longer than the Penko. They are completely the opposite players.

How could forget about Swiatek

Sakkari has had a mare. Cant get that forehand to work consistently

 

[JackNah_8]

Raducanu has good ground strokes.

Sakkari is all over the place, too many errors

Forgot about Swiatek.

I'm not convinced about her, don't know if she can win another slam but she's still young

 

[BobbyMorri]

This is not the Sakkari who played Andreescu

Seems shell shocked

Making too many errors , hopefully she can settle.

 

[BobbyMorri]

That is a top top hold.

 

[BobbyMorri]

What a point at 30-40!!!!!!!!

Huge point as well.

 

[BobbyMorri]

That is a big hold

From 0-40 down as well. As people say, circle that game.

Hopefully it changes the game

 

[BobbyMorri]

Make the girl play Sakkari!!!!

mostly in rallies

 

[BobbyMorri]

Really good serving. Too good in the end.

Wow, what a final. To think, the French Final is not the craziest one of the year.

 

[Gigantic]

This is going to be a great final to watch!

 

[BobbyMorri]

Emma Raducanu* born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 2002 vs Leylah Fernandez, born Montreal, Québec, Canada in 2002

*Moved to UK when she was 2, so she is very pommy. But, Oh CANADA

 

[JackNah_8]

What an unexpected final!

Going to be interesting match, Im going with Raducanu.

I think Sabalenka's errors helped Fernandez towards the end

 

[Gigantic]

Each have their own impressive stories to tell of how they got to the Finals too

 

[matt_897]

Radacanu just keeps stepping up, incredible tennis. She doesn't look like she has any weaknesses, takes the ball early and can change direction so easily..

After what happened at Wimbledon that makes this even more incredible

 

[pepsi]

Is it 1999 or what? Hingis vs S. Williams in the final that year (18vs17). Raducanu has just blown away the field (inc. qualifying) this tournament and is the favourite. The only doubt for mine is she did have that panic attack at Wimbledon earlier this year where she was forced to retire mid match, in the biggest match of her career at that point. Wonder if she spent some time working on the mental aspect of the sport since then? Hopefully no repeat as she is playing sensational tennis. Fernandez is playing very well also and had a lot of tough matches through the tournament, which may help her in the pressure moments on Saturday.

So that's 2 unseeded teenagers that will be facing off in the women's final ?
