That’s the 2nd day in a row that she has given a bagel to a former Major champion. Way to go Emma!
Two mothers in their 4th decade!🤔
Serena And Azarenka Made a mistake more so Azarenka you cannot hit to her FH she had so much time because she knew where the ball was coming. I just don't get it you have to hit to the BH to be able to get too the FH! Hitting the BH down the line leaves yours on FH open Emma would just roll it cross court and the point was over since they both have no speed...
@@quentincrisp6933 yes, they left humiliated
@@quentincrisp6933 it’s rather sad right? To see former champions out of shape, out of their prime. Not everyone can walk away from the game with dignity or a grand slam win like Sampras. Some linger around too long and get bageled by some young bloods on their farewell tour. But they deserve a chance to say goodbye even if it means losing 6-0.
@@quentincrisp6933 Azarenka is 33 y/o and her WTA Ranking is #22. But you're right about Serena. Her playing days are over!
People are talking about how well emma is playing. Fair enough. Can we mention dimitri tursunov? Everything he touches turns to gold. The fact that in a week working with emma she turns a season around and is probably one if not the only bagel set serena has suffered and then azarenka takes 6/0 4/0 down to start figuring out emma’s gameplan.
He has lifted so many players up and solidified top10eners with grandslams yet each time he does that, the same players leave him and their careers plunge again.
What the hell? Coach award for tursunov!
Im a leftie and when i saw emma win the usopen she was slicing out wide from deuce side each time, coming in and attacking crosscourt backhand or wrong foot. She had a leftie coach back there and his patterns were working. I hadn’t seen her slice outwide that well again for a year till this week. Kudos to coach for bringing back her basics 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Between the Serena and Vika match, Emma won 17 games in a row. Wow!
Everyone keeps saying Azarenka is old blah blah blah. She is 33! Ranked 22! Raducanu served a hot bagel through her game and intelligence.
Too bad that cornet humiliated her in the us open. And yeah game and inteligence, thats why she is 13-16 this year
When Randacanu is on form she's unstoppable 🔥
Emma is classy and composed at all times. Bravo! Keep going.
@Maria Bowers. How are you doing today?
Two very good back to back wins for Radacanu even if they were against opponents well past their best.
Isn't it surprising how many players seem to find their game goes to pieces when Radacanu plays well.
All the doubters like to put it down to opponents playing badly or being out of form.
But when Radacanu serves well and hits to a good length there is enough penetration to put and keep opponents on the back foot. Sometimes you only get to play as well as an opponent allows and when Radacanu is playing well she makes it hard for her opponent to get into the match.
She has a great deal of raw talent no doubt. But now analyzed, she has continued to have trouble with the top players because the coaching is now much better then ever and studied, she has yet to move into that top tier imho, but she's awful close and continues to work on her game. this habit of not making many errors is winning me over. I might be a believer if she can pull off another great us open run(not necessarily win)...
That might play a small part but primarily it’s Emma adapting to playing full-time on the tour, when you look at the matches she’s losing and observe her serve percentage, the lack of depth on her groundstrokes and the passiveness - it’s clear she’s struggling with the physicality, and she was playing more cautiously. As she adjusts, this level and her US Open level will become more and more normal. These two matches will’ve helped big time - I think she’ll probably win tomorrow, when Emma gains momentum and confidence she’s dangerous, and Jessica is ranked higher than her so there’s no pressure and she will’ve seen Emma bagel two major champions back to back, so Pegula will definitely be feeling it tomorrow.
What's a Radacanu, Jock?
@@crazycatpetera1404 The hardest thing in any sport is to play consistently at a high level.
Even for the best, good form comes and goes and I agree that the more she plays on the tour the more likely we will see the form that won a U.S. Open. The performances against Williams and Azarenka looked like the Radacanu from the U.S. Open.
So true 👍
There are many things that I like about Raducanu's game, but I really appreciate the fact that she doesn't shriek/grunt.
Yes. I don't like the grunters. Emma, Giorgi, Bencic, even Barty, never grunt.
Her loveliness is off the charts tbh. And her game play was good here. I hope she continues to focus and play well and win tournaments.
I watched the entire match live. There are some distinct differences to her game compared with earlier on in the year. One is that she is hitting earlier, closer to the baseline and more aggressively on the rise like how she did when she won the US Open last year. Two, she has developed a wicked slice serve swinging out right on the deuce court that takes the receiver out wide and opens up the court for a winner. Three, and this is significant, she has reduced the number of times where she pumps herself when winning a point, reserving it only for very key moments. Finally, she has rediscovered her technique of successfully changing direction by hitting winners down the line, instead of just playing down the middle. All in all, I wonder if this has been Tursunov’s impact. If it is, she should retain him. He took Annett Kontaveit to world No. 2, after all. And she has faltered after their break-up.
Good summary
good points here, but I actually find what you say about her pumping herself most interesting...what's the connection between that and her performance? do you think it was taking her focus away before?
@@khano2212 I think it’s about not getting too high or too low during the match, but to keep steady emotionally and focused no matter what the score. She did that well yesterday even when Azarenka stepped up her game in the second set.
Good points
@@kenzone Great advice for my own matches too! lol.
Emma was simply amazing. The best she has ever played since winning the US Open, no doubt about that. And she was so humble . No airs in what she does and say. Great personality. 👍
So where are all the loud-mouthed Serena fans who were HATING on Emma when she took apart and bageled the legend (?) and who predicted that Vika would destroy Emma. Your silence is deafening! LOL! There's a new generation of WTA kids taking the spotlight so get used to it.
Two former world number 1s and major champions defeated back to back in emphatic straight sets isn't bad going no matter where they are in their careers..!
yeah you would say that.....
It’s interesting how she gives genuinely humble vibes, rather than the bravado we are used to seeing from players in the 80s and 90s. I think she has been trained to reign in the fist bumps, but it works. She is focused and precise. Emma has said off games where she doesn’t perform that it doesn’t matter. She’s young and lots to learn. But here it seems she has learned a lot. She is a class act. There are so many American comments saying that she is winning against older / tired players, but where is the joy and appreciation of someone who simply wins? All I know is that she is a great ambassador. She is respectful and eloquent and most importantly of all, she has the skill and drive to put the doubters to bed. Win or lose, there is no doubting Emma’s drive and determination.
Well done Emma Raducanu. I like watching you on Tv playing and winning. Good luck
Raducanu is the coolest little girl in town!.. Playing with her hair, ignoring everybody..
Yeah, lol, at the coin toss she seemed dialied.
@@boke75 She is something.. I hope she will be around for a while..
Love that Emma is using the run around Steffi Graf forehand. It's like watching ballet.
The hugely effective faking of shots, the incredible amount of time she gives herself to make shots, the way she has her opponent running back and forth along the baseline chasing shots. Raducanu is truly one of the greats. I hope her fitness doesn't let her down again.
Yesterday Mrs. Serena was given bagels, now it's Mrs. Ria (Victoria)'s turn to be given bagels too, that's really nice, Emma. It's true that changing coaches makes players feel comfortable, for example Emma is the new coach Dmitri Tursunov (Russian) who matches Emma's character, so you can continue, her playing style is very cold and focuses on every point, no wonder the former tennis queens were slaughtered one by one, as well as with Simona Halep, now managed by former coach Serena, see now Halep is progressing rapidly because coach Patrick Moroutoglou is the right person for Halep. .
Emma's game is looking stronger and stronger everytime I see her play!
These last couple of wins were really important for her in this tournament.
Keep on slayin' them Em
Rootin' for you 🥰
To me, Emma Raducanu seemed to be hitting to a much fuller length, consistently, than in so many games in the past year. It was so lovely to see ... It must make so much difference ... anything else & the ball just sits up for the opponent to hit .... Go Emma !!
Yeah this is why people are comparing her form to the US Open. The surface helps to. I just think maybe she got lost after her coach from the US Open moved on. Hopefully this new partnership and some more wins will see the form and undoubted talent return.
@@dtrjones Hope so! I am old enough to remember Rod Laver's at his peak & him saying that 'length was almost everything' .. Sadly, in the following Cincinnati game against Pegula, Emma was hitting a bit short .. It spoiled her chances of progressing IMHO ...
Man that win over Serena got her super confident!
Emma nowadays looked beefier which is good news for us tennis fans, which mean she is fit and ready for the business of winning.
Yes Emma! I hope this gives her a confidence boost
Congratulations to Emma I'm very happy and proud of her achievements so far😂
Giving the bagle treatment😂😂. Go Emma!!!!
Wish the WTA were so fast to upload other games highlights!!!
WTA are blameless, they are only satisfying the audience, they know most everybody wants to see EMMA !!
Two back to back wins against two big names is good enough to make a confident statement!
Raducanu has had a very tough first year on tour. Big ups and downs.. Shes tougher than she looks...she's slogged it out and stayed around learning how to cope ..good for her.....
I know Vika is past her prime but this year she's had victories over players like Teichmann, Yastremska, Martincova even over Badosa and she had some nice shots here. This victory will give Emma more confidence, I hope she'd put a good fight against Pegula!
Emma has improved a lot lately...!
So impressive honestly. Would love to see her in the final!
She's on fire! defeated 2 champions & that forehand is crazy!!
Wow, I did not see that happening. Vicka played really well last match. I like that Emma is moving the ball around instead of the softies down the middle. With the short highlights, we couldn't tell what really happened but go get em Emma.
So sweet Vika gave her a hug at the end.
The score is just unbelievable!
Bravo, Felicitări și mult succes în continuare !
Bravo Emma.Ai jucat foarte bine.Succes pe mai departe.
Huge back to back wins for Emma. Way to gain momentum heading toward the US Open.
Well done, Emma, your loyal fan here. Good luck and keep going, Emma....
I think she has more than one!
She's on 🔥🔥🔥
This is a kind of Emma that won the US Open last year... Great play, even though she needs to add a bit of power to her shots... But overall, this looks promising... There must be something special on the hard courts of America for Emma😅. Maybe it has to do something with her new coach too...
yes to a retiring player in her 40s, and to a mom who's been having issues in the last few years. ok.
@@angel91485 The number of unforced errors, and fitness were the biggest issues for Emma... That's why I said that. Azarenka was a slight favorite before the match started...
@@angel91485 and emma is young and adapting to the physicality, plus her form hasn’t been great. you can say all the excuses you want, she can only beat what’s in front of her. give her some credit ffs
@@xRaiderz you can be biased all you want, no ones stopping you
@@angel91485 i just said she hasn’t been great? no biased here, just looking at the other side which you totally ignored :)
I don't know what happened to Azarenka this year. It is just sad. When she won in 2020 I thoughg she would be back in the top 10 and dominating
Not sad, shes a tyrant
Nothing wrong I guess, Emma was in the zone that’s why vika lost
Vika has done nothing since that US Open final it’s so weird..
Vika is coming to the end, alot of Grand Slam champions are retiring in the next year
@@Santi-792 dude I mean emma is playing maybe better but no way you are telling me serena and Victoria lost to emma because she is playing very dominating.... It's just they both are at end of their career and emma is just catching up them with high mobility and rhythm
I love to see you win! Keep going with your best effort.
Tursunov does a good job!
OMG these Emma fans, get on my nerves! A couple of weeks ago, y'all were quiet as a church mouse, NOW she's GOD again!!!
I bet you Emma will do a repeat at US Open GS.
Relax.
Good to see her getting some good wins and just at the right time. Hopefully will be good for her confidence going into the US Open
Another good training for Emma 👏🏻
I know that this is not the best version of Azarenka that we've ever seen, but still Emma's domination of a former world number 1 is very impressive.
Emma better stay with Tursonov! ❤️
I agree.
Her coaching situation was badly managed since her victory at the US Open. She needs a good coach and Tursonov showed he is competent. Hope things go well between them.
She's back playing aggressive and that can beat anyone
@@dominicspiller481 Yeah, Tursov did well to turn her back to the playing style which resulted in her winning the Grand Slam.
@@SainyaHokage Wanting to find someone that she connects with shouldn't be seen as "badly managed".
Just keep doing it Emma!💪
Raducanu is back…! Playing like she played in her 2021 U.S. Open Singles Title Champion.
Raducanu played the wide angles much better than the previous tournament, so she won the first two games here easily, need to continue the aggressive game plan.
Raducanu is looking the strongest she has since last years US win.
16 games in a row against two legends
I think it was 18 actually, that's insane!
@@janparchanski9242 I'll split the difference and go for 17.
It was 5-3 then Serena pulled it back to 5-4 and then Emma made it 6-4 so that's 1.
Then 6 + 6 + 4 plus the 1 makes 17. Still mighty impressive.
@@sloth_energy you're right I thought Emma won last 2 games in the first set but I wasn't sure hence I said I think 🙂
Raducanu played 18 hrs before this match and Azarenka played double, Emma's wide serve (aces) have improve a lot, so no 2nd round exit like haters predicts, againts Pegula will be a test for her but she's on fire...goodluck Emma
@Tony Uzi Yeah, the Serena fans have now become the HATERS!
Wow. Emma bageled Serena, and now she just served one to Azarenka. She's playing some solid tennis.
I literally can’t believe what I’m watching. Sharapova was really the last teen grand slam winner who was consistent and backed it up. Emma has struggled so much the last 11 months but these two wins really make you realize what she is capable of and reminds you what’s she’s done.
Nah, serena n Azerenka WAY past their prime. Let's see radacanu va Halep, Swiatek, Coco, Sabalenka then we can see what she's really made of.
@@yezmirsheppard-halika6892 Shutup and give credit where it’s due you muppet. 😂 Serena’s.. still Serena, it’ll still be an achievement when she’s a hundred years old in a wheelchair, she’s that good. Not to mention, the mental aspect of playing a GOAT, that takes a lot of strength. Azarenka’s still ranked about twenty in the world. She may not be at her best but she’s still very good and Azarenka hasn’t been bageled by anybody this year.. and she’s played Swiatek twice, Badosa, Krejcikova, Rybakina & Anisimova
@@yezmirsheppard-halika6892 coco and Sabalenka? LOL. Has coco won any important tournament yet?
@@tommynick6804 coco is the real deal and her ranking is TRUE! Emma will crash out like the rest of them after one hot year. Coco here to stay. World #1 in doubles. French Open finalist in singles and doubles. She's won a couple tourneys not a GA slam but she will have several and you know it. Emma is finished after this US open. Them 2000 points gon hurt when she like those. No way in hell she wins this year lol.
What has Emma won since that fluke grand slam? I'll wait.
@@crazycatpetera1404 she played them, but did she win? Who is the better player? She ain't fucking with Swiatek and u know it. She is not a top 20 player. She is a top 100 player at best. She's not leading the pack at all. Catch any of them chicks on a good day and theyll body emma.
Congrats Emma !!
The ligther ball they use in Cincinnati and the US open certainly suit emma's game.
They have those balls in all the Northeast American tournaments it seems. She didn’t play this well in Washington or Toronto. It’s not to do with the balls, you could see from the get go she was going for more winning shots and being more aggressive. She was more passive in those events compared to this match.
She played great
Her shots were deep and strong
Serves were coming In with consistency
She remained very focused
From the first point
Forehead was on fire
Great footwork
Wishing you the best
Third round
Emma
Raducanu
Your best for a long time,now go for it!
she serves like a champion!
Stunning performance by Emma!!!
Raducanu seems very composed and in good shape physically, touch wood (not like that you pervs :D). Is it just me or has her footwork improved? Difficult to say. Her serve seems to be improving throughout the year too. And her mentality is impressive to me, for a youngster too...
Well, you wear a dress *that* short and guys are gonna perv - it's normal. She is bigger and stronger than 9 months ago though, and can hit the ball harder. She's faster as well I agree. Good luck to her at the US Open.
Well done Emma. Take one match at a time. Keep the momentum going & stay focused.
Emma's on fire handing out those bagels 🥯 like they were candy 🍬
Yes! Towards the end she completely broke Azarenka physically and mentally! Look at the sheer power of Emma's shots! But if you see her physical training it is just scary!!
Great to see Emma in such good form.
Congratulation Princess Emma, I know you're the Champion Go Emma Go Emma Go
Emma's serving up bagels in Cincinnati.
I love RADUCANU
Hahaha.....you can tell who has got the cream of the sponsors' millions, at the coin toss,Azerenka is all pumped and hyped up,jumping up and down while Emma was busy doing up her hair!🤣
Didn't help Azerenka did it? Emma, on the other hand, looked fabulous whilst slamming winners in every direction!
Amazing, I love this.
Raducanu gonna open up a bakery the way she's serving up bagels
Haha that's a good one 😃
@2:04 Great shot making from Emma!
Raducanu is back in form!
Мне очень нравится как ана играет умница такая пусть будет много Побед успехов крепкого здоровья благополучия удачи
Raducanu is on fire! Azarenka is "big game hunting", tennistically speaking.
Emma technically won 17 games in a row in Cincinatti 🙀 before Azarenka got a game at 0-4 down in the second set.
Azaranka forgot to show up for her match today. Shame on her
Looked like an amateur out there
Great Match
As I said after she beat Serena... Emma is back in US Open 2021 form.
Playing like a champ!
Beating two great players in a row - even though they're past their primes should contribute to boosting Emma Raducanu's confidence ahead of Flushing Meadows.
She didn't beat them! They gave her more unforced errors than in their last five matches combined!!
@@Dan-sc7us Emma used her skill and talent to FORCE them into making errors!
Emma play good she beat two legend excellent performances
It seems I was totally fooled by match scheduling or time zones so missed watching this live. Relieved at another tremendous result for Emma who seems to be on a roll. Huzzah!
After all the losses she is finally back!!
Oh hi Emma, nice to see you again.
Well done Emma.🙏🖤
Wow, I expected Azarenka to get more than two games. Radacanu is playing well. She could go far in the US Open.
lol!. sure
Don't put any money on it.
You will lose...
@@stevefowler3398 I'm not saying she will win the US Open, but she might win 3 or 4 rounds. She won't face anyone higher-ranked until round 4.
@@potzysk2 very optimistic of you sir.
BUT..........
Emma is back!!! Same level as US open. She creates the pressure that makes her opponents game fall apart. Same thing happened at US Open. Vicka is still a good player. Emma was just too good and didn't give her a look in.
It’s been two matches against two veterans. Don’t get too far ahead of yourself
Leylah fanboys really worried right now 😂Emma is the real deal. Fernandez is a fluke.
@@MrGenexxx they're both flukes
@@ahmedfouad2659 nah. Only Leylah lol
@@serveoutwide vika is still 22 in the world. So still at a good level
Respect bebe love ❤️ you 💓💓
Emma on the move
Wow congratulations Emma
Love ❤️ you ragukanu you ❤️❤️💘
youth defeated experience. Azarenka is getting in shape with every tournament.
Emma having an impressive run in this tournament.
Emma is on a roll. Can she continue? I certainly hope so .....Jessica will be the big test for her. I predict a close match. I like them both.
What "roll"?? Serena and Vicka just folded!! Massive unforced errors in both matches! I'm wondering if those matches were thrown!!
What "roll"?? Serena and Vicka just folded!! Massive unforced errors in both matches! I'm wondering if those matches were thrown!!
I wouldn't say she's on a roll, she's only won 5 matches in the last 5 tournaments (excluding Cincinnati), now with two dominant wins she can build onto a roll heading into the US Open
I still can't believe Emma only had 1 UFE the WHOLE friggin match againt Queen Serena. Just that stat in of itself is crazy !
@@Dan-sc7us Thats an interesting point considering the sudden surge in her game when it was so poor just last week. And Azarenka is a FIGHTER, I saw none of that here. Interesting....
Can’t remember the last time Azarenka got a beat down like this.
The owl sounds from Azarenka were a bit quieter than normal.
She changed her bird sounds and toned it down.
