Brilliant from Radacanu.

I really hate the waterworks though, glad she beat her.

10 matches (!) and no sets dropped throughout.

There’s a record that cannot be beaten.

Well done ER.

I’m watching this on ESPN and pretty frustrating having to listen to the wholly biased commentary in favour of Fernandez. Making excuses saying it was because her first serve percentage wasn’t high enough, she was tired as has harder matches (ridiculous as men play a minimum of 3 sets every match).

They must have been watching a different match because the one I watched Emma was pretty much in control by being more aggressive and showed amazing composure at 1-2 in the second set to break back immediately.

Anyway at least Emma got the job done which shut them up a bit.

It wasn’t brilliant commentary on C4 they talked a lost game at the start of the second set. Mad.

I thought if Fernandez got anymore angrier, we were going to expect a Tonya Harding jobby! laugh
