Anyone for tennis?

Emma Raducanu says there's no pressure and no expectation on her in the US Open Final. She still hasn't dropped a set. She made it look so easy, even with a brief wobble at the end. She's having so much fun.

Both those semi finals were just wonderful to watch. Raducanu was so cool and collected. I'm in Canada so not as late for me as UK viewers but still 1am and totally worth staying up for!
I think if they both play the way they have done so far, it will be an outstanding final. 😀🎾

I was listening on the radio to both matches. I don't think either girl can believe their luck & are both just planning to go out and enjoy themselves.

Absolutely!! I haven't even gone to bed cos was expecting a 1am start.
Luckily my 16yo slept til I woke her at 3, goodness knows how she'll get on at school today Grin
She and I have watched every match since the first round of Wimbledon and didn't want to miss this one.
I find it incredible how she unnerves the most experienced players, you see the realisation dawn on their faces every time.
I agree, think Saturday will be exceptional. Kind of hoping it'll go to three sets!

It's amazing for tennis!

Wow, what time will the final be….I’m ready hoping she wins. What a great story!

The final says tomorrow evening at 7 pm, uk time, although everywhere you look you get a different time, so hoping that’s the correct time. Woke up at 3 am to see how it was going, she wasn’t playing yet. Then woke up at 4.55 so missed it. Going to watch it this morning.

Well done Emma.

Put my phone on as soon as I woke up to look at news and see how she'd done. Brilliant! Great to see good news for once.
