Wow an incredible result from Raducanu (again) and now a major finalist! I didn't see it (my son did, so I'll speak to him later about it), but the scoreline suggests another ruthless display.
The battle of the teenagers in the final should be interesting.

Amazing stuff again, just watched the highlights. She's ranked above Serena Williams!

And between her and her opponent tomorrow, their combined ages amount to less than Serena. It's totally sensational.

A great match-up too, style wise. Raducanu is just an absolute beast, battering opponents off the court (without wanting to diminish her ability at the net with softer hands though, she's got a lovely slice and deceptive dropshots); Fernandez has shown again and again that she's got a quite scary refusal to lose in her. Proper unstoppable force vs. immovable object stuff. Best tournament for the women's game in ages.

I'm quite nervous about this. Mad considering I'd never heard of her three months ago. Goo on bab.

Perhaps as Villa fans we should not watch?

You're tedious as fuck, sometimes.
