Really well played match by both. Fernandez ran out of steam, but Emma executed well.

Bright, bright futures for both - great to see!

last british man to win the french open was fred perry in 1935

time for murray to get on the juice and win it now

If you consider Swiatek is only 20 and won the French open losing no more than 5 games in a match.. there is definitely a few names that are going to be there for the next decade

Stayed off here last night, just wanted to enjoy the match.

Two girls really going for it, playing some terrific tennis.

Raducanu could potentially be quite near the upper end of the rankings for a while. Not for her shots (she clearly has most of them covered) but her ability to remain calm when things are apparently going on her opponents favour. Fernandez had 4/5 balls hit the top of the net and drop over for winning points, you'd be forgiven for thinking "it's just not my day."

I'm absolutely delighted for her (and immigrants everywhere lol)

Well done Emma.

Hingis and Seles the only other 2 teenagers to win a grand slam without dropping a set, good company.

Well Emma doesn’t grunt like a pig and hopefully isn’t a cokehead either so we’re golden.

Unless something pretty remarkable happens between now and December, then it would be a travesty if she doesn't win it.

Siggy's comeback?

She could never pick a tennis racket up again and not have to worry.
She will earn mind boggling money on that win alone.

Two point five million dollars, and nine hundred thousand dollars for the runner up. Say it slowly.

Less 30% tax for the US according to this….

Do Tennis Players Pay Tax On Prize Money? - My Tennis HQ

So how does income tax work on tennis players’ prize money? The amount of tax money a tennis player will pay on prize money will depend exclusively on the location the money was earned, made, or received. After a player competes in Wimbledon, for instance, he or she is taxed according to U.K...

Looking forward to Piers Morgan’s next ‘about face’ when she moves to a tax haven

Great advert for immigration into the country.

I thought she was lucky in the sense she played no one of note in the whole tournament, but I suppose you can only beat what's put in front of you.

All tennis should be three sets.

You can mess up loads in five sets and still win, plus three sets means more upsets.

Nice of The Queen to send her best wishes..
