One of the hardest parts of her life now is answering what are basically the same questions time after time. She does it charmingly.
It's not hard. It's just boring.
Reporters keep hoping that her and Layla are long time BFFs.
Emma, can you tell us what part Canada played in your life? I was born there. I left when I was two. I can't remember it at all. My parents were there for work reasons. I have no relations or links with Canada whatsoever. But, hey, thanks for the question. Emma what about the fact that both the finalists have a Chinese parent, is this a coincidence or did you derive some form of inspiration from this? Obviously it's a coincidence. Thanks for the question.
@@chrisjames1905 Like I said, it's not hard to deal with, it's just boring.
@@ppuh6tfrz646 I would honestly find it hard to retain diplomacy. Certainly for the Chinese question I would have said that it's a coincidence, which is obviously is.
She honestly is a breath of fresh air for the woman’s tennis world. No arrogance, so friendly and transparent in her interviews, talking with such fluency, no shyness, full of confidence but not a hint of over confidence, and that also applies to her tennis which is also very adaptable to her opponents. Definitely a rising star who will win many GSs. And to top it off, she is so pretty. She is a joy to watch on and off court. Very well done do her.
She has more IQ than all the reporters in that room combined.
Huhu.. I'm agree with you... Hmm
That's not saying much.
regardless of who wins, WTA tennis hasn't been this exciting in a minute. I wish both of them the very best!
Did you see the French open final with Swiatek
@@DarrylHebbes I did! Iga's dominating run at that major was astonishing too.
Dịch tiếng Việt
I'm with Raducanu..
She is very beautiful 🤩
@@zlmdragon. Juniors really mean nothing, some players develop later while some great Juniors never make the pros
This young woman handles the court and press well beyond her age. Gonna be a big star!
What an example to the youth she is! In a time where so much fakeness on social media, she is a beacon of hope. Don’t change please!
yah, goodbye fake osaka crybaby
@@logicrule , STOP. Be happy.
Yes, when she switchs her phone, she knows who is she.
Go girl!
@@logicrule don't be so childish. Naomi clearly is having personal issues you should respect that a wish her well. These are human beings and we are all different. She's more than what you see on TV and we all have our own challenges behind closed doors. Just because you're rich and famous it doesn't change
I’m impressed by how articulate and mature she sounds at that young age. She is a delight for journalists cause she talks and elaborates clearly on her answers, she is not too shy and too private, perfect balance.
When she becomes a superstar sensation, hope she stays the same and not an instagram or marketing product...
The way she conducts herself, her respect for everyone, conveying confidence without arrogance - she is a role model for experienced players let alone those new to the game. Class act
Confidence without arrogance?
Is that a dig at Fernandez, by any chance?
I've found Fernandez to be quite arrogant in some of her post match interviews.
@@ppuh6tfrz646 Sorry no. Haven't heard Fendandez speak. I'm only talking about Emma.
@@josephantoniou3778 Fernandez has come across as arrogant saying, and particularly the *WAY* she says, that she wants 'to put on a show' and thinking from the very start that she could win the match.
umm after winning 9 US open matches without dropping a set, why would you be anything other than grateful etc etc.
BTW Emma is the best thing that has happened to women's tennis since Martina Hingis!
@@ppuh6tfrz646 nothing wrong with that… I have had a ticket for final… would cheer for both
Emma has excelled in manners, maturity , composure , education and most importantly athleticism in tennis , the way she answer questions is out of this world , even older mates can't do better !!oh I forgot to talk about the beauty!!!🔝🤗🤗
Couldn't agree more.
She mesmerizes when she speaks
Yep very matured very composed and very intelligent girl☺️
What's there not to like - 62 dislikes. And all we're seeing here is the pure honesty of a very young player who's had success in the tournament moving through the qualies without dropping a set, and just now won the championship. Just goes to show how people just really hate for no reason at all. Congratulations Emma, you go girl!
These dislikes are probably Canadians but I'm not sure. What's not to like
@@realtimebiblicalinterpreta6972 such a shame if it really is , Emma was born in Canada, now living in the UK .
someone is sick for sure but who cares
Patricia,
If Emma won against your favorite player, would you give her a "like"? A dislike is not = hate, just dissatisfaction of an outcome. I love Emma!
What an incredible woman. What an upbringing, to produce someone so talented, intelligent and charming. Human perfection.
yeah, be born in a rich family, hit a ball with a racket for many years, she is a true hero, done so much for the UK and sacrificed herself for herself and her own success so selflessly!
Wish I had a privileged upbringing my life would be so different to what it is now.
I always wanted to play tennis was my dream but dident have supportive parents to take me to a club and matches or invest in me both were poor and uninterested.
I was born in the UK I’m white English and both my parents english so would be a real British champion as oppose to a foreign import.
confidence and calm at the age of 18, this girl is going to make a big impact
It's too early to say.
Love her personality, her play style. She has everything she needs to be a multiple GS winner. I just hope the WTA and her team protect her because it can get wild.
Very true. When was the last time we saw Osaka smiles freely and stress-free?
@@bournejason66 True but what I would say in response to that is Naomi has always had an awkward, slightly anxious personality, even before she became a household name - Emma’s different, she’s confident, calm and collected.
@@crazycatpetera1404 yeah i believe so👍
yes Emma is completely diffrent from Osaka
@@yaofaust89 Yes, Emma doesn’t come across with an arrogant entitlement that Osaka does.
I have total respect for Emma as a tennis professional for her on and off-court performances but even more so for putting up with the banal questioning from these journalists. I admire her poise under these circumstances.
Totally agree! She is more than a tennis player. A simple human interest question like, "are you fluent in Romanian or Mandarin as well as English?" would make the interview so much less inane.
She's a delight. One more win pleeeease! Light a bright light in any room.
@norman smithers I think she might win the award whether-or-not she wins the tournament - her and Charlotte Worthington are my top two.
Just saying!
@norman smithers you forget about Tom Daley though the guy finally won gold after 20 years. He’s literally Mr Team GB, I said to my Dad a couple weeks back only way he doesn’t is if Emma wins US open well looks like I might eat humble pie😂
@@adamhogarth8244 Emma won SPOTY!
She definitely has an aura about her. Such poise and confidence at 18 I love the way she carries herself very inspiring.
She seems to be a quick learner and easily absorbe her opponent's game. She's adapting fast and plays smart !
I hope she's gonna far, for long time...
Imagine both of 'em in a couple of years.
yah, I think she has the advantage over leylah
@@logicrule It depends on your features you have. Lets remember that a mind control mixed with technics on court during a couple of hours.
That's the scarry thing about her. She's only just starting but she's picking things up in matches and uses them in the same match.
She plays tennis chess so well, it’s comparable to Novak, she plays a shot but is thinking about the next three or four shots at the same time🤯. It’s insane for an 18 year old🔥🔥
TBH I didn't really expect this Sino-Romano-Brit princess to beat the Greek muscle queen warrior that easily. Dauntless and Super talented..! I'm heavily impressed by her sublime tennis.
She has such adaptability in her game with no obvious weaknesses, bring on the final!
I agree, her game is rock solid. And she can turn on the tap when it matters. She would have had a fair shot at Wimbledon too if not for health issues
@@DonYang73 she still has so much more to grow, physically, and her game will continue to improve of course.
Her serve is one of my favourite parts of her game
I love what Leylah has done for Tennis and Canada....Amazing !!! After defeating top seeds , Breaking News , she Will Be Stopped by the 18 yr. old Phenom , Emma Raducanu , who will Dominate Women Tennis for Min. Next Two Decades ......Prepare to be Amazed Today .....
Both Emma and Leylah show great maturity for their ages, and handle the press so well.
much better than the last year winner....uummh somehow I forgot her name..
@@TONDANO11 her name is Naomi Osaka... Last year winner US OPEN..
She is such a class act. Has her head firmly planted on her shoulders. Speaks with confidence and honesty - plus a bit of humility. What a great run - qualies to the Final without losing a set. Awesome.
I saw Emma Raducanu on tv playing in Wimbledon, even though she lost in the 4th round of wimbledon, something told me this girl is very special. I think she will be very tough to beat in the WTA tour.
It’s not only her tennis, it’s her character.
Enjoying Raducanu's and Fernandez's runs immensely, and the final is definitely on my calendar. Odds are favoring Raducanu, and I agree. Have a sneaky suspicion that Raducanu's apparent split-focus between tennis and education did two things: 1) concealed the full degree of her tennis skills and 2) creates a balance which will give her an edge. All that said, I am just happy to see two amazing and motivated women go to battle. Should be a joy to watch.
Absolutely. Naomi who?
@@kjmcindoe6408 🙄 how about instead of pitting young women of colour against each other, you appreciate their skills and that they share them with us.
Forget being 18, you can’t do a better press conference than this, period. Engaging, positive, informative, honest and entertaining. Not to mention super likeable. Phenomenal young person, tearing up the rule book and showing us all how it’s done.
She won nine matches in a row in straight sets. That´s very impressive. Fernandez had to play tougher opponents though. Anyway, I kinda root for both of them.
A fence sitter haha no no i always go for 1 winner - EMMA - proud South Londoner - Bosh!
They’re both fab
Make that 10 matches in a row, 20 sets in a row won!!!! 🏆
New icon of an age.
Asking her about the best trophy she’s won so far… seriously did he not have better things to ask? There’s so much he could have asked about the match, about her analysis of the game ahead, about her rise, etc… tennis journalists really need to do their homework
Don't be fooled by that cute smile she's a tennis terminator
How is she only 18. Shes more poised and together than players years older and more experienced than her. Shes absolutely charming.
All her opponents totally under estimated this young lady.! Even more so with Sakkari. You could notice her disbelief on a number of occasions when she got outplayed on points she thought she had won. Emmas ability is astounding at this stage of her career.
This girl is the real thing. She going far. One of the most talented to come in a long time.
What an engaging and delightful person.
What a special tournament run she's put together. Best of luck to her in the final but honestly I can't root against either of the two finalists, they have both been brilliant and it should be a super match!
Yours is the winning comment. We have absolutely lucked out with a lights-out, incredible final pairing. Two Cinderella stories going head to head in an all-to-play-for match. The WTA won the lottery this week.
@@gallopingnuns6732 exactly. The real winners of this tournament are the tennis fans.
@@user-mk9hv8sl5p So true. This is a real cause for celebration in the tennis world. Both ladies are extremely charismatic, thoughtful and articulate. Both are gracious and humble. Both are photogenic and have extremely exciting games and contrasting styles. If this is the birth of a top-tier rivalry, fans and sponsors alike will rejoice. The fact that these ladies also appear to like and respect each other is even better.
@@user-mk9hv8sl5p Can't truly say it helps the WTA if an unseeded player vs. a qualifier. It doesn't say much for the quality of WTA players.
@@ctruth6185 No, it means that there is a new crop of players coming through who are ready to blaze new trails - just saying!
shes absolutely stunning. feels so comfortable and pleasing dealing with pressure! Congrats Emma
Emma handles the spotlight so well. And what a wonderful talent! To come out of the qualifiers and reach the final of the U.S. Open is astounding. Win or lose in the final, both Emma and Laylah seem destined to do great things on the tennis court.
This tennis player is something else she's is so inspiring, keep going Raducanu
This girl is truly AMAZING !!!!
I watched both press conferences and they speak as well as they play. As a Brit I want Emma to win but I really wish that there wasn´t going to be a loser.
Both of them will have grand slam
finals experience.
A big plus for them whoever wins.
Lets hope neither of them loses their nerve
on the day.
Three sets please.
This is crazy fantasy stuff,like Becker all over again.
one of the finest smiles in this noval time
Just keep being so free and swing through the ball with that lucidity and hyper focus!
"Hard work" was instilled in Emma right from early childhood, and, I have always been in absolute awe of the "hard work" tenacity/mentality of my Chinese friends!
Just shut up.
They all work hard. You dont get into these positions without hard work. Everything being expressed here has been expressed before about other players.
Actually she is playing tennis because of her father who is romanian.
Emma's mentality/tenacity is most definitely Chinese! For sure, it is NOT British!
Enough with the background argument please for goodness sake, she is a global athlete and citizen who just so happens to be British and represent Britain. I mean her voice can’t be more stereotypically English if she tried!😂Can’t you salty people just accept Britain has a great tennis player for once and move on
who would have ever thought that the final would end up like this. Can't wait to watch it!
What a delightful final this is going to be. As a Greek Canadian, my alliances were represented to the maximum.
She is a delight and what’s so wonderful about her is she not only complimented every opponent at the beginning of these press conferences, but she specifies a unique positive attribute of her opponents’ game each time as well. Amazing.
You see her applauding her opponents off the court along with the rest of the crowd rather than getting distracted before they've left the court.
This is going to be a tough final to watch..I love them both....they both have such inspiring stories. I wish its was possible to give them both the championship Trophy!!.
Emma really impressed me yesterday. Yes was she playing fearless but she knows what she's doing. She's not just ball bashing and you can see the wheels turn when she plays. I really believe this is only the beginning for her.
She is also an excellent interviewee. She truly seems unfazed by the situation.
I love that when pushed, she confirms that she and Leylah met at junior Wimbledon but she does not say that she won that match, and instead says that was then and as of now, both have improved their games, almost in case someone looked up the result.
You've got to wonder that defeat at Junior Wimbledon was somewhere in the back of Leyla's mind. For sure the pain of this latest defeat won't be excised until she beats Emma on a big stage.
She's well capable of it, and whilst Leylah blames her loss of her errors, Emma forced all her opponents into making errors.
Emma is my new favorite players in WTA
Emma is the *first qualifier* in the professional era to reach a Grand Slam event.
*And she hasn't even dropped a set yet.*
really great response to the questions by firstly praising he opponent and then everything else - shows great humility and thankful which is the mark of a great person she will do well in future and who knows will be a goat quicker than most. So unlike her opponent who focused firstly on how badly she played implying that Emma did not win the match but she lost it. From what i saw Emma outplayed her.
Yeah emma just blew her away. She didnt allow her to play... pretty simple. She simply demonstrated that she is the better player and her interviews show she is also the nicer personality.
Think Leylah said something like "Emma kept playing on my mistakes" think this is called game strategy. It's what you do to try and win. Have only watched Leylah in the post final interview so cannot comment on what others have called her arrogance. But Emma certainly has a very positive attitude.
Wow, Emma, you rock! What a lovely smiling girl. I almost viewed all the youtube videos about Emma on and off the court. Emma Raducanu (ER) is exactly the lady version of Roger Federer (RF). Of course, I love Leylah too. Hope women tennis is going to be Emma and Leylah era.
Federer is so fake !!!
They both make world class players look like club players on a Sunday morning and hit the ball like a rocket with seemingly little effort...and she doesn't grunt so loudly that the crowds are advised to wear ear protectors.
Federer wanna beat everyone! He only respects Nadal
So gracious and intelligent; amazing!
A British superstar! What a player and lovely person. Bring it home to the UK Emma 😎
The moment she starts losing, she Will be 'romanian gypsy' to you brits..
Born in Canada to a Romanian father and a Chinese mother, as British as they come I hope she wins for us brits to celebrate a true national treasure
@@paulc2007 Yep a national treasure. Lived here since the age of 2, grown up and schooled in this great country. Started her tennis journey with the LTA from a very young age and under their leadership and guidance as she says, it’s the reason she is where she is today. Chosen GB as a true patriotic gal 🇬🇧
@@reverse5163 Us Brits support our sporting folks, unlike some nations.
@@Camsta83 exactly nothing canadian about her
people take notes… class act, stay the way you are
Tour's best smile!!
When asked about Leylah Fernandez she never mentions that she beat her at Wimbledon Juniors. So humble.
The first question about under no pressure she’s already answered by her reaction at Wimbledon when she retired. As she admitted afterwards, everything all came crashing down on her, because of pressure being put on her. She’s had that difficult experience to learn from and it’s showing quite dramatically in how she’s performed so far. The demeanour on court between Emma and Leylah is quite marked, Leylah is more emotional and about using the crown. Emma has come across pretty ice cool and focused.
Love it when she says "I know I need to bring it" girls got attitude love it!
Nice lass, I wish her well, whatever the result on Saturday, it's a remarkable achievement thoroughly deserved. What a blistering forehand. Wow!
Listening to Emma respond and be articulate is wonderful to behold. I wish her well for this final and all the best for I hope a very prosperous career.
If only journalists would somehow be enabled/able to come up with real questions...
Kudos to Emma.
Pure stardust!
Such a humble player. :-).
What a lovely young lady , very beautiful kind and inspirational
You played an awesome Tennis. Keep it up 👍🏾
She plays like djokovic. Court coverage tirelessly. The confident and very fast passing winners.
Intreview also like him. To the point but never getting trapped by the question and explanatory with details.
It’s frustrating that people say she had an easier draw, Emma came through qualifying to reach the final without dropping a set, Emma deserves it just as much as Leylah.. it’s not Emma’s fault that all the seeded players in her half of the draw lost early and she had to beat their successor instead 😂 she would’ve played Barty, Swiatec, Andreescu and Pliskova if they matched their seedings - all 4 of those have either won a major or reached a major final in the last 24 months which is equally as difficult. If we analyse Leylah’s win - Svitolina doesn’t have pedigree in majors let’s be honest, Kerber is definitely past her best and Naomi & Sabalenka are both great ball strikers but have struggled mentally. 🤔 I’m just making a point that we don’t need to belittle Emma’s achievements compared to Leylah’s, they’ve both doing incredibly well and it’s exciting for women’s tennis! ✌🏻
Wow nice of you to slander the merits of the other. It is not Emma who had an easy draw and it s not her choice, that I agree, but to belittle Layla's achievement after that and defamate her... that s immature of you!
@@lastresort8166 That was in response to what everybody else has been doing to Emma for the past week or so… my comment literally says let’s not belittle Emma’s achievements. Can you read? 🤔
@@crazycatpetera1404 You said let’s not belittle Emma then proceeded to belittle Leylah. Makes no sense.
@@jboogie6921 Not at all, just making the point that they’ve both worked incredibly hard and BOTH deserve it
@Einars Dubrovskis She’s literally said frequently that’s she’s struggling with her mental health 🤔
CONGRATS! AWESOME MATCH
The pure enjoyment and smiles plus personality is breathtaking!
Absolutely superb talent on and off the court .Hope she seals it with the Win
The new Star ⭐ Congratulations 🎉 Emma Raducanu 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Bravo, Emma ! The winner!👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Win or lose you have got to appreciate her talent and character. the only player on court that looks like they are enjoying them self. Fingers crossed for Saturday.
Will not anyone address the fact that, she's beautiful.
Yes. Millions of people have and will.
@@chelseapoet3664 🤗🤗🤗
Yes, she is but that's just a bonus in her case! She's a great tennis player, seems to have a very level head on her shoulders, can deal with the press with ease, is a class act and a great role model for other girls. What's not to like?
You see women's tennis seeded players were not able to hold nerves and made errors got eliminated, whereas men's tennis the seeded players retained the semis spot, tells you a lot, mental aspect of the game plays huge role, reason why Djokovic or Medvedev are top players
Exactly, they're underdogs here but as they will make it to top 10 or 20 they will feel the heat, reason why all senior pro's crumbled bcoz they were not in the moment and thinking about fear of failure or winning the match
@@markalexanderyourell8434 Nick Kyrgios anyone?
been a tennis fan forever, and it's the first time i actually really want both finalists to win!
I'm cheering for Fernandez. I think this match will be epic. Raducanu is a very powerful player.
"If you win the US Open it's *probably* going to be your biggest trophy...." - a professional reporter actually said that, folks.
Well Tennis World had an article how Federer missed the Open because of a foot injury that he has dealt with all year. Maybe it was the same guy.
They've said worse.
The press are numpties
They live in a weird bubble where reality doesn’t exist.
YOU OUT CLASSED HER- You are a PHENOM!!!
Beautiful, smart, and a true class act. Win it all Emma 🙌🏆🥇
She's quite pretty but I certainly wouldn't say she's beautiful.
@@ppuh6tfrz646 Definitely not beautiful. Normal girl.
@@ChristiaanRoest79 I'd say she is prettier than average and therefore prettier than normal but certainly not beautiful.
There are very few people who are genuinely beautiful.
In fact, I think I've only ever met one person in my life who I would regard as genuinely beautiful.
It's a very rare thing.
I think she is beautiful, the type of beauty that is external as well as internal; THAT combination is rare.
Fearless & Amazing
If I'm honest, I prefer watching the women's tour to the men's nowadays 👍
I agree. I think I’ll feel more enthusiastic about watching men’s tennis once Djokovic stops winning(😩😒).
@@lingolarker9318 😂😂 you must be a Federer fan! All his records being swallowed up by the Djoker who for me is the GOAT!
@@lingolarker9318 keep waiting, hes only 34 👏🏻
@@jamesowen7518 I´m a Federer fan, but I also love Nole. I hope he wins the Grand Slam.
Five years ago we would often have five-way tournament battles between Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray and Wawrinka. These days it's basically 127 guys spending twelve days deciding who loses the final to Djokovic. Not exactly thrilling.
It sounds like she has a mindset that will serve her really well in the future, reminds me of Nadal and Djokovic’s ability to stay in the present moment and has been a major aspect to both of their success
Exactly what I was thinking, she’s like a super hybrid with aspects of all the Big 3, plays smart tennis chess and returns like a goddess (Novak), has grace and her game is so clean (Roger) and she has such a winning mindset and doggedness to win (Rafa)
Goodluck to you both! I love both of them!
To come through the 'Qualis', and not drop a set at a Major, is quite an accomplishment. She's got the complete game with youth on her side. Whoever is designing her game plan deserves a lot of praise: She gave the ball quite a bit of 'air', and that took away Sakkari's ability to 'load up' on her shots. Hitting the ball deep also helped. I didn't think she could beat Sakkari like this. She's got a slightly bigger serve, and that may give her the edge over Leyla. I like her chances in 3 sets🏆🏆
Before anyone asks she’s British, not Canadian….
@@vincentxjlee no
May this final usher in a great rivalry between the two incredible women
Emma's movement around the court is just astonishing. So quick and deft.
Emma and Leylah have got great smiles.....gotta love these kids.
Let's hope she wins the slam and goes on to be the next Graf
I hope she becomes Emma Raducanu the Grand Slam Champion, FIRST of her name, slayer of more senior players, inspirer of anyone who enjoys wonderful sporting achievements. 💖🇬🇧💖
@@MercurialRed9 praying fir that, she's kinda beautiful inside & out.
She’s the female version of Djoker the way she spot serves, returns, play Defense as well as having strokes that don’t break down under pressure.
STOP IT!!!!!! Let her be the first Emma and build her own legacy.
After watching her last 3 matches, she is consistently a woman on a mission, although the final should be very interesting as it is hard to call due to her opponent getting everything back, and like Rad, does not give up a rad showed at W'don as she hasn't had to do it at this tourn. Seems so level-headed, could see her being a multiple gs Finalist/winner very soon.
Looks like if you are a calm and intelligent communicator, the questions after the match are manageable, even if they are not always the most inspired...
Great interview. Emma is very mature and pleasant. A breath of fresh air.
What an inspirational young lady. Intelligent, talented, mature beyond her years, composed, calm, focused and such a sophisticated communicator for one so young emerging into the spotlight. Liberal and natural in showing respect and gratitude to those who have helped her reach this point….her parents must be bursting with pride. Take care young lady the future is bright …and we will all enjoy watching you achieve GS wins in the future.
Beautiful West-East mix...
Players for the whole world...
I think it's more like East-East. Her dad looks very much like the Roma people (basically travelling sub-continental Indians who settled in throughout Europe a few hundred years a go). I'd say her DNA is Chinese/Indian.
I don't know what she is (ethnicity wise) & I don't care either.
All I know is that whatever her DNA makeup is it must be hot!
Cause this girl is *_SMOKIN!!!!_*
She's definitely a sweet piece of eye candy!
That cheeky grin just cracks me up!🤩
Congratulations Emma! All the best to both you and Leylah...it will be a great match to watch for sure.
she is going to win.... her tennis is pure and a very likeable tennis attitude...!!! I have been to London twice... and to wimbledon.... she is NOT like an athlete that dominates...but more like a tennis player that knows how to play tennis that is in her PRIME of her youth.... that is something to remember and actually cherish because people get older.
In the finals, i cant root for emma, i cant root for leylah. I love both of them, and so thankful for what theyre doing for tennis. This is gonna be a very exciting match, epic. So it is a win-win, whether leylah or emma wins this gs. I will celebrate whoever wins between these 2 lovely teenagers.
All I'm hoping for is that both players play well, stay calm, and ideally deliver a close match.
I'm thoroughly enchanted by both Emma and Leylah. Two delightful people and inspiring competitors. Wow, this whole story is better than a movie. Women's tennis is headed to the top of the sports world.
