It's still an amazing story. First qualifier to win the US Open. Didn't drop a set on the way to doing it.
Really enjoyed the final as well. Nice to see one so evenly matched. Neither player ran away with it, every point was fought over and hard one.

That's the way of tight tennis matches. Literally 3 or 4 more errors by your opponent and winners for yourself means success over defeat.
I must admit when the momentum swung against Raducanu in the first set I was surprised she stuck in there to turn it back again in her favour.
The first set was always going to determine everything.
Make your mind up Dave and get off the fence. And those of you arguing that the medical break cost Fernandez, Emma was a set and 5-3 up, was 30-40 down but on serve. Fernandez had a hell of a lot to do to win from there.
As for her nationality, she was smiling broadly after the presentations, but did you notice her face light up even more when the girl holding the large Union Flag walked towards her? She knows who she is.

Another point won and she's back on serve in the 2nd set in a verty tight encounter.
Hardly a "a hell of a lot to do".
Momentum is everything in tennis. If Fernandez had broken back to 5-4 with her serve to come it could have got in Raducanu's head.
That was gamesmanship from her. That said, Im sure Fernandez would have tried it if it was the other way around.
She did face ranking players...
I mentioned similar earlier on the thread, both players made quite a few unforced errors that would have been punished if they were playing more experienced pros. However, theywerent, they'd both earned the opportunity to play in the final and you can only beat who you are faced with. The history books wont comment on who had an easier journey to the final etc. Well played girl

Not anyone in the top 20.
I thought the key was the start of the second, tbf.
To go a break down (for the first time in the tournament) and then immediately hit back. That's when she finally broke Fernandez mentally it seemed.
Both of them were exceptional in the final and in the tournament in general. Both would have been worthy winners. I think the medical time-out proved Fernandez just lacked the composure when it mattered most, though.
My feature from last night if anyone wants to check it out
She faced Bencic in quarter final who is ranked 12 in the world lol.

I expected Raducanu to beat Fernandez with more ease, tbh.
Fernandez serves to get the point in motion, it's not a weapon. She's mobile and chases down shots, but not really dictating rallies (although she did well enough last night...but that was because Raducanu was hesitant and not hitting through her shots on occasion).
I could easily see the pair of them not winning a slam title from this point, tbh. It was just one of those freak tournaments. I think Covid19 has had a massive impact on disrupting all sports.
