These rallies have been awesome

 

Well Sasha has a boo boo. Hopefully he can ride the advantage and keep Novak on the court for another hour.

 

Let’s go 5!

 

Glory is yours, take it

 

Oh come on! Too good

 

I hate him

First serves killing Zverev

 

Positive is Djokovic gets to watch the winners ceremony and the shit sour face he will make holding the 2nd place trophy during that ceremony

 

This lady doesn’t know the national anthem.

cliffs if you missed it, i think she mixed up some lyrics and sang it like edelweiss

 

Let’s do this!

 

Should be good

 

Raducanu returns are fire

 

Raducanu is fast af

 

What a battle, and Emma snags the early break. Big service game here.

 

First serve has gone away for Emma

 

Leylah’s defense is going to win her this match at this rate

 

Emma!!

 

Gutsy game there from ER.

 

Yes!!! First set Emma.

 

Both girls tightening up a bit in the 2nd. Lotsa break/game points being squandered early on.

 

Huge two game swing.

 

Breaks right back. This match.

 

Emma focused again - 2 good games by her, especially the serving in the last.

 

That was a great way to pick up the break.

Leylah's tentativeness hasn't helped her today.

 

HAD to break there - she'd blown a lot of opportunities.

 

Good gravy... one game away.

 

Emma gud

 

One more game. Never counting Leylah out but it seems like all her battles to get here have taken a toll

 

Poms are going to be miserable lot to bear when Emma wins this one out.

 

Yeah, I know Emma gambled & won, but that was a weak attempted winner by Leylah.

 

Ehn, I'd be happy for them on this one. They haven't had much tennis joy for a while.

 

While she's had an easier draw, to come through the qualies and be as dominant as she's been, Emma's run has been special.

 

Jesus, that forehand has been huge this set!

 

I hope people don't forget Leylah's run either. Gutted for her but what a ballsy journey to the finals, grinding out wins against some of the top players in the game.

 

Leylah is fighting her ass off.

 

Well here we go.

 

oh damn

 

Now we see...

 

Seems like she got a B12 shot. I'm afraid it may have been a little too late.

 

Love that both of them have been smiling in the middle of this.

 

Nervy…

 

Leylah has no damn fear. This fucking rules.

 

Wow. Can she hold out here?

 

That hurts like hell, although I can’t imagine she feels it at the moment.
