Ah yes, i forgot what McEnroe had said.. Plonker

Fantastic match, I almost couldn’t watch at times it was so tense. But brilliant play from both of them.

Interested in this thread?

Fernandez played well. I feel for the lass.
If she continues to fight for every single point the way she has this week, she will have a fantastic career.

I think Leylah made a bit of a show of herself complaining but she is very young and she seems so sweet. Definitely going to be one to watch

Emma is amazing and exactly the right role model for British tennis and young girls, A* in maths and then wins the US Open, and she seems so chilled too.

Wow the right trophy cripes

Cringe

TiddleTaddleTat · 11/09/2021 23:27

Yeah, awkward ...

Blueeyedgirl21 · 11/09/2021 23:27

Sorry but I can’t help but think she’s been told to say that thing about New York …

Clawdy · 11/09/2021 23:27

Yes, I found Fernandez's smirking a bit annoying, and the fuss she made about Emma having medical attention. All a bit unnecessary.

pecanmix · 11/09/2021 23:27

That was .......interesting

Maireas · 11/09/2021 23:28

Good to flatter the NY crowd!

Jellykat · 11/09/2021 23:28

Hmm not sure i like Fernandez that much

repog · 11/09/2021 23:28

fluckityfluckfluck · 11/09/2021 23:28

That was a bit cringe

Emma had her return tickets booked , did t expect to get past the qualifiers.

Yes I read earlier she'd had to change her return flight booking, should have left already!

GingerScallop · 11/09/2021 23:29

I think emotions did get the better of her. She's just turned 19 and on biggest tennis stage. And am not sure it was a smirk but more trying not to cry and trying to mask it as a smile (though not sure if we are talking exactly the same moment). Give her some grace. I suspect her complaint was how long it was taking rather than the fact that she had a time out.

littlbrowndog · 11/09/2021 23:29

Good one Emma

NiceGerbil · 11/09/2021 23:30

Fantastic match.
Exciting rallies all the way though.

Both incredible in my opinion I mean wow. So young. So skilled! So bloody calm. Just brilliant.

Well done Emma! Yay yay!

Antsinyourpanta · 11/09/2021 23:30

I thought they both came across well.

MandyMotherOfBrian · 11/09/2021 23:30

This must be one of the greatest sporting achievements of all time.

Antsinyourpanta · 11/09/2021 23:31

.in the interviews

littlbrowndog · 11/09/2021 23:31

So mature

Jellykat · 11/09/2021 23:32
