Great win for Paula! Nice to see her stringing wins together, and that's 13 wins in her last 17 across her past 5 tournaments which is kind of what she was doing in 2021 and early 2022 when she was at the top of her game, although with her back and other injuries, it's always a case of 1 match at a time. Decent chance of making a first final since Jan 2022 if she can recover sufficiently as she'll almost certainly be the first match tomorrow. Decent tournament for Emma as well, and it's also a 4th tournament in a row for her where she has strung at least back to back wins together. These are my fave 2 players (Paula #1), so it's good to see them both heading in the right direction, and hopefully both can stay fit throughout the USO swing and beyond.

The serve keeps letting Emma down. Needs more work on it. If your 40-0 up and still lose the game at a crucial point something needs working on otherwise chances of breaking into top 10 is still a long way off.
But remember, she wasn't playing alone, Paula made adjustments and broke her. No player is playing alone on court. U can be ahead the your opponent increaes her level and beat you while ure still playing good. It's not always a choke.
That was a really interesting match from a tactical point of view. I'm liking what I'm seeing from Emma. She played TECHNICALLY pretty well, and made a few tactical mistakes, which can be corrected. And if she does that, then she wont lose matches like this again in the same way. Paula played very well too, it must be said.
Emma service games have been good/improving . She was leading 3-1 in the 3rd then she hit the "8th inning" 😂. It takes time to get physically stronger. Note that if you are physically weaker, it also means less oxygen carrying blood to the brain as the match drags on especially when playing a player like Badosa.
There heaviness to Paula's movement - I went back to her 2022 matches and saw it wasn't there. Does anyone know why? This is a good win for her, but the length of the match isnt a promising sign for her ability to take down top 20 players or win titles.

I find both players exciting too watch but also excruciating to see Emma had Badosa twice where she would have wanted her, but let her out of the bag, and with it a Victory that was within her grasp and first Semi-Final since 2021. After Match point Emma was off that court real quick and she must be disappointed that she wasn't ruthless enough or let her focus or level slip in a few clutch moments BUT that said it was a long match in 36°c and humid and was 50/50 as to who was going to win for most of the 3 sets, when I saw Emma lead 2-0 in the 3rd set I thought she would hold onto that and see it out but no. Entertaining match and well done Paula on reaching the semi-final.
Emma has limitations against physically stronger players - not much she can do until she gets stronger herself ( it takes time). Badosa's backhanders were just as good actually - it was the high balls she struggled ( but Emma decided not to exploit that continuously - Badosa's back issues?).

@@robertmartin7594 All the above things you said + the fact that she never backed her GS win with any other win shows that shes the biggest Fluke in the history of tennis.
@@arunraju9705 Why aren't you getting it ?? EMMA is at the beginning of her career not in the twilight, the fact that she has already won a GS makes for unfair expectations. There are so many who have yet to back up winning anything (especially 50% of the current top 10) !!
Raducanu still hitting everything back to the middle, you can't win that way, this is not practice, must learn to drive the balls long and to the corners.
Although I didn't see the full match but having read the press reports,Emma blew her chance to get to the SF simply because her inconsistent serves let her down in the end because she was leading 3-1 in the final set and dominated Badosa in the first set and for part of the second set as well! Once her serves improve and reach the level of consistency as Alcaraz's then she should be winning matches like these on a regular basis because this match shouldn't have gone to a third set in the first place as Emma was well on her way to victory in the second set and was on the verge of going 4-2 up having broken Badosa in the first game of the second set as well as the first game in the first set and also winning the first set in only 49 mins but she double-faulted to allow Badosa the break back to level at 3-3 and ultimately the second set. Hopefully her serve consistency will have improved by the time the big one in September comes along and surely reaching the SF in NY will have more than made up for missing out the SF in Washington!
@@huzcerwho's comparing? Read carefully first,I said to achieve Alcaraz's level of consistency in serves which shouldn't really be a problem since she was able to do it for 3 weeks ironically when she was least experienced in 2021 when she won her US Open title as a qualifier at 18,something which even Alcaraz or anyone else for that matter couldn't manage. But be in no doubt, her serves will come good in the end and she'll be a top 10 player as a result. Hasn't won 3 matches in a row in more than 40 matches? You been living under a rock? She did just that in Wimbledon a few weeks ago by taking out the 9th seed and world no.8 Sakkari in R3 in straight sets along the way for good measure!😅

@@huzcer still don't get it do you? Aiming to achieve Alcaraz's serving consistency is not the same as saying that Emma's at Alcaraz's level you muppet. Why's that so difficult for you to comprehend? Didn't trolls like you were mocking her for not beating a top 10 player not so long ago? Well you can't do that anymore just like you won't be able to say she can't win more than 3 matches in a row for much longer. In fact that may come sooner than you think and she's the one player that nobody would want to meet in the US Open least of all Sakkari because she doesn't want to be beaten by Emma three times in a row!😅
Terrible highlights as always, a jump from 1-2 to 5-6 in set 2 and from 2-3 to 5-3 in set 3, at least show the turning points that made Badosa come back in the final set.
Really a top-notch encounter among two impactful competitors. I had estimated that it was going to be a toilsome tussle between Badosa and Raducanu. Both of them fought very hard in order to gain the gorgeous points. Most of the rallies were utterly physical. That's why I believed that they were going to be pushed within this step. When these two tennis competitors recuperated her injuries, both Badosa and Raducanu have begun to compete more perseverant, relentless and steadfast than the major competitors. It proves the real quality, superiority and dominance of the tennis. It is worth seeing the upcoming scale of this sport. I would like to congratulate Paula Badosa, well-deserved triumph in the end, appreciating the outstanding effort of Raducanu. Thank you so much for making us watch such a gruelling showdown.
At this point Raducannu should jus call it quits or move over to doubles......she can't even beat an out of form/practise badosa. Fishy Fishcannu has been consistently bad against top players and players of any repute or weapons.
Yeah, RADUCANDU who has only been professional for a tad over 2 years is consistently bad when beating the WTA 5 (Jpeg) and WTA 8 (Sakkari), EMMA made 2 top players look like they didn't possess any repute or weapons !!
That out of form/practice Badosa has just reached the final as well as demolishing her SF opponent Dolehide in straight sets along the way...Emma may have just been beaten by the eventual champion because the top seed Sabalenka has been knocked out by the unseeded Bouzková yesterday.😅 Regardless,Emma has had a successful tournament because she has now reached 69 in the rankings as a result of her expliots here in DC and has leapfrogged Dart to become Britain's no2 and will no longer need wildcards anymore in order to qualify for the main draw in any tournament. Also she's very close now to being a seeded player which means that she'll no longer have to face a seeded big name player in the early rounds.
I have rarely seen such a bad tennis match. It felt like they couldn’t even get one single serve game without second serve. Never seen so many double faults. :/ how any of them got so far is a mystery to me. One can only hope it all had to do with the heat on that day.
Two pretty girls with pleasant personalities competing. No tantrums, no dramas, no insults and no arguing with the umpire. It's such a joy to watch. Congratulations to both girls! 👏❤❤
Two nothing players playing a nothing match you mean! When the matches were big you get the sort of thing like Federer telling the umpire "Don't tell me the fooking rules" (US Open final vs Del Potro as he sourly lost) lol . How "classy". Must try harder!
@@FlorianaLions neither of them have won anything in years. aka they have won nothing in years. aka nothing players. nothing players play nothing match in a nothing vulturing tournament when the majority of the Top 50 were at the Olympics. what happens next week when all those Top players are back!?
"Pleasant personalities"? I bet you know them personally, and can confirm that what they project for the cameras is really what they are. So many delusional people around us. I bet you will say Iga is also very pleasant
Emma didn't have the energy to serve after being up 3-1 in the 3rd , she broke once (because Badosa knew she is going to hold therefore win) for a 4-6 outcome
Yet more terrible highlights. Raducanu 3-2 up with a break and game point in the end, then we see she's 3-5 and match point down without any idea how that happened. Useless.
from the double fault on mp to the end of the the video is over a minute?! If these videos could have more points and less of what happens inbetween the points that'd be great. Also, if you could group all of the highlights from all QF into one 10 minute video that would be even better!

@@robertmartin7594 all of them had various reasons for not participating. But with Flopacanu, guess what??? Injury🤣🤣🤣 injury every month. Her injury game is better than her tennis 😂😂
Both played really well. Although Emma lost, she's producing some of her best tennis since '21. She's still physically struggling during longer matches I think, so needs to carry on improving that side of her game. She'll get there though.
more than 40 tournaments played since and Radufans still going on about that 1 tournament 3 years ago when the same player has never won more than 3 matches at any of the 40 plus tournaments played since. as they say - "form is temporary, class is permanent"!
@@huzcer What on earth are you talking about? She's had non-stop injuries since shortly after that US Open win, plus several surgeries. I really don't understand the hate she gets from some people - if you're a fan of women's tennis, then it's great for the sport if Raducanu can get fully fit again.
@@MrPicklerwoof Must be the longest "coming back from injury" story of all time? When someone gets very standard procedures done and 15 months after those procedures and back playing already for most of a season where 3 of the 4 slams are already played - when does this excuse end? Djokovic "came back from from injury" and made a slam final and an Olympics final less than 2 months from the date of the actual surgery!
@@huzcer Sorry but you're just coming from a place where everything is relentlessly negative. It's just tiresome to listen to. I have a very broad and positive interest in women's tennis and I'm prepared to show some understanding and balance towards all the various players. I want exciting players like Raducanu to physically get to the point where they can show their best, which she hasn't been able to do over the last couple of years. Feel free to hate away as usual. Meanwhile I'll remain positive.
@@MrPicklerwoof the results speak for themselves. Raducanu is the ultimate example of "form is temporary (1 fortunate run in a Covid disruption era tournament) and class in permanent (3 years since of dire results)". For all your supposed "broad interest" in tennis you must be a really poor judge of the blatantly obvious game in front of you -> no weapons of any note and primarily relying on opponent errors to win games.

Iga's doesnt have the best serve, she holds her nerve in crucial moments, but there are players with better technique

Why are these people not competing in the Olympics - not good enough for them?!
ranked too low at the cutoff time (after FO2024) - although Emma can enter as a past major champion, she decided not to
Two QF matches, to double faults on match point 😂
How is the quality still so bad on these videos?? A spectator in the crowd with an iPhone could literally get better quality than this
as per my predictions....the nail awaits the racket!🤷♂
Although I didn't see the full match but having read the press reports,Emma blew her chance to get to the SF simply because her inconsistent serves let her down in the end because she was leading 3-1 in the final set and dominated Badosa in the first set and for part of the second set as well! Once her serves improve and reach the level of consistency as Alcaraz's then she should be winning matches like these on a regular basis because this match shouldn't have gone to a third set in the first place as Emma was well on her way to victory in the second set and was on the verge of going 4-2 up having broken Badosa in the first game of the second set as well as the first game in the first set and also winning the first set in only 49 mins but she double-faulted to allow Badosa the break back to level at 3-3 and ultimately the second set. Hopefully her serve consistency will have improved by the time the big one in September comes along and surely reaching the SF in NY will have more than made up for missing out the SF in Washington!
People comparing Raducanu to Alcaraz. Whatever next 😂 Raducanu hasn't won more than 3 matches anywhere in more than the last 40 tournaments played
@@huzcerwho's comparing? Read carefully first,I said to achieve Alcaraz's level of consistency in serves which shouldn't really be a problem since she was able to do it for 3 weeks ironically when she was least experienced in 2021 when she won her US Open title as a qualifier at 18,something which even Alcaraz or anyone else for that matter couldn't manage. But be in no doubt, her serves will come good in the end and she'll be a top 10 player as a result. Hasn't won 3 matches in a row in more than 40 matches? You been living under a rock? She did just that in Wimbledon a few weeks ago by taking out the 9th seed and world no.8 Sakkari in R3 in straight sets along the way for good measure!😅

@@huzcer still don't get it do you? Aiming to achieve Alcaraz's serving consistency is not the same as saying that Emma's at Alcaraz's level you muppet. Why's that so difficult for you to comprehend? Didn't trolls like you were mocking her for not beating a top 10 player not so long ago? Well you can't do that anymore just like you won't be able to say she can't win more than 3 matches in a row for much longer.

Waducanu pwayed weally weally well.
Terrible highlights as always, a jump from 1-2 to 5-6 in set 2 and from 2-3 to 5-3 in set 3, at least show the turning points that made Badosa come back in the final set.
Nice totty on display. * Tennis
Really a top-notch encounter among two impactful competitors. I had estimated that it was going to be a toilsome tussle between Badosa and Raducanu. Both of them fought very hard in order to gain the gorgeous points. Most of the rallies were utterly physical. That's why I believed that they were going to be pushed within this step. When these two tennis competitors recuperated her injuries, both Badosa and Raducanu have begun to compete more perseverant, relentless and steadfast than the major competitors. It proves the real quality, superiority and dominance of the tennis. It is worth seeing the upcoming scale of this sport. I would like to congratulate Paula Badosa, well-deserved triumph in the end, appreciating the outstanding effort of Raducanu. Thank you so much for making us watch such a gruelling showdown.
Very good comment 👍
At this point Raducannu should jus call it quits or move over to doubles......she can't even beat an out of form/practise badosa. Fishy Fishcannu has been consistently bad against top players and players of any repute or weapons.
Yeah, RADUCANDU who has only been professional for a tad over 2 years is consistently bad when beating the WTA 5 (Jpeg) and WTA 8 (Sakkari), EMMA made 2 top players look like they didn't possess any repute or weapons !!
out of form badosa ? has won 14 out of her last 18
@@robertmartin7594talking of weapons 😂😂😂
That out of form/practice Badosa has just reached the final as well as demolishing her SF opponent Dolehide in straight sets along the way...Emma may have just been beaten by the eventual champion because the top seed Sabalenka has been knocked out by the unseeded Bouzková yesterday.😅 Regardless,Emma has had a successful tournament because she has now reached 69 in the rankings as a result of her expliots here in DC and has leapfrogged Dart to become Britain's no2 and will no longer need wildcards anymore in order to qualify for the main draw in any tournament. Also she's very close now to being a seeded player which means that she'll no longer have to face a seeded big name player in the early rounds.
I have rarely seen such a bad tennis match. It felt like they couldn’t even get one single serve game without second serve. Never seen so many double faults. :/ how any of them got so far is a mystery to me. One can only hope it all had to do with the heat on that day.

from the double fault on mp to the end of the the video is over a minute?! If these videos could have more points and less of what happens inbetween the points that'd be great. Also, if you could group all of the highlights from all QF into one 10 minute video that would be even better!
