It'd be great if the closing of the golden era in men's tennis was followed by one in women's tennis, cos it's been a bit pish since Azarenka stopped being competitive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Perfect time to remind everyone that she had to qualify! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Astounding stuff for her to reach the final. f**k Piers Morgan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 FFS. The 13th tour level match of her career will be a grand slam final. Across the tournament so far she's won 49% of return points. This kind of stuff shouldn't be possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 That's the first time I've watched a full Raducanu match. She's the finished article. I can't believe her maturity and composure. Top punditry tonight from Martina too. And fk Piers Morgan. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meldrew Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 5 hours ago, GordonS said: Well. Layla Fernandez beats Sabalenka in a cracking match. She's two months older than Raducanu. She was born two days before Serena Williams won the third of the four titles in the Serena Slam. They hype has all been about Raducanu, but Fernandez has beaten the 2nd, 3rd and 5th ranked players in this tournament. its all about how they've progressed, but i read elsewhere Raducanu has already beaten Fernandez at Junior Wimbledon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Raducanu the absolute assassin. Up to 32 in the World Rankings. Despite playing three matches more than Fernandes she has been on court less than her. The only player in history to make a Slam Final from qualifying. First teenage final since Serena vs Hingis in 1999. The best thing about it? The absolute joy that both players get from playing tennis. No matter who wins on Saturday, tennis wins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I barely watch tennis now having been quite active on this thread over the last decade. I only really get to watch the 3 other slams as they're on Sky. Don't see any other tennis. I might try and see if I can buy this match tomorrow night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything ATP and WTA is on Amazon Prime. The Australian Open is still covered by Eurosport, BBC have Wimbledon and ITV have had the French Open but think they’ve lost the rights. Prime have had the US Open the last few years. You’ll get it in Amazon Prime, possibly free trials on offer, but if not 7.99 for a month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye sorry I meant you can still see them via your Sky subscription, not via a streaming service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Not to be a dick because I'm a big fan of Henman and he gets some unfair stick, but the irony of looking to Tim for inspiration on the verge of getting to a grand slam final surely wasn't lost on anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed this. Is that what Raducanu said? She's not going to look to a Jock for inspiration IMO, needs to be a fellow Nigel to keep the press happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Men’s semis:Djokovic v Zverev Medvedev v Auger-AliassimeDjokovic and Zverev both had fairly straightforward quarter final wins yesterday. The young South African Harris did have a set point in the first set against Zverev, missed it, lost the set then head went down. Novak did lose the first set against Berretini, as seems to be his game plan. Then he got his rage on and won the next three 6-2, 6-2, 6-3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
