US Open Emma Raducanu

[Rollerbird]

Is there a current thread?
Who's watching?

They'll be around for the next 20 years or so, so this is quite a historic match between them

Indoor tennis is a very noisy affair as far as the court's concerned, usually I find it really off putting, but somehow tonight I am linking it more to the footwork.

They're so energetic and powerful, but with some lovely shots. I'm re-engaging with women's tennis after being really put off by the huge grunt and serve power years.

As richard says above it's exactly the same technology ElizabethTudor so you know every call is as correct as it would be if you did the hawkeye replay/challenge but agree I really miss being able to see how close it really was etc.
I guess from the players' perspective though it must be nice to have that element of doubt removed.

Old school radio listener here too

I just love their attitude, both of them. Really inspirational, playing for the sheer joy of it. Judy Murray must be watching and saying 'YES!! These girls can, and they DO!'

I'm obviously hoping Emma wins, but my god, for a qualifier to get to the final is enough of a win for me.

I dont want to say this but Fernández looks slightly the better player at the moment.

I like the hawk eye so they can just concentrate on their tennis without the added stress of an unfair call

Great match so far!

Gosh this is so stressful to watch.

So good.

Thank you for letting me know this is on C4. I was trying to watch it on my phone in my hotel room.

Nice rally Emma!

Agree @hellocatshome

Very stressful yes...

I’ve turned it off. Too stressful.

Yes also finding it very tense!!!

Watching on Prime. Go Emma! Loving Martina N's commentary too. So positive about both players.

23,000 in the stadium!!

Fernandez seems to have the rub of the green in her side at the mo. She can't get a first serve in though and Emma can MOVE and pulls out some amazing shots.... eeeeeek

Just out

Cmon emma

I think Emma will get stronger and play better and win

Blimey, its all so tight!

Glad it’s not just me finding it stressful!

I thought Fernandez was looking a bit stronger a few games ago but Emma coming back now.

So if it gets to 6-4 will that mean Emma wins?
I'm getting confused if there's another sort of level after that

It’s stressful, but bloody hell they’re both such great, evenly matched players. It’s a joy to watch.
