JudyJudyJudy Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Hint for those enjoying the tennis at the us open . Amazon prime are showing it . Sign up free for the month then cancel it . ! Looks like a real changing of the guard now . Currently enjoying the Svlotlina V Fernandez live . Fernandez is exceptional . She’s only 18 too like Radacscu ( can’t spell her name ) there are a few other young players breaking through . Fernandez is a delight to watch . She’s a leftie and for some reason they always seem to play some stunning tennis . ( Martina being the most famous and I Monica was too ) Edited September 7, 2021 by JamesM48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyJambo Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Some result, and some player. She seems to be a great frontrunner too, gets ahead of a player then just piles it on. They said the other day that only 3 women have got to the 4th round of their first 2 majors played, Evert, Seles and Capriati. And on screen today they put that only King and Clijsters have made it to the US Open semi-finals when ranked outside the top 150. Some good company to keep for both!

Malinga the Swinga Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Excellent performance again. After slow start, she seems to get on a roll and once ahead, she just piles pressure on opponent. Still not dropped set in either qualifying or main draw. She won't have to bother about qualifying for tournaments much longer. Now GB no 1 and only played about 4/5 tournaments. No idea who she plays next but it won't phase her and she has fighting chance of getting to final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilnunb Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Just woken up, was scared to look at the result. Don't know why.

Malinga the Swinga Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Final 9pm Saturday night our time on Amazon.

Victorian Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 The achievement is already massive and miles beyond what could be expected of her. But to not win it now could be a source of utter regret sometime later because there's no guarantee she'll be making it to major finals all the time. I hope she's utterly cold blooded enough to play her game without the enormity of it all affecting her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 She's dropped 27 games in the 6 matches in main draw, over 12 sets played. Averages roughly 2 games a set. She's not just winning, she's dominating opponents and tearing their games apart. Don't see her freezing on Saturday and hoping she does exactly the same again.

Tommy Brown Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I like the set-up on Prime. Got up at 6am and watched it unaware of the result. Will do the same on Sunday morning. She needs to start better, she lost her first serve in QF. Last night she was 15-40 and 0-40 in her her first two serves. She doesnt want to doing that in the Final. What a star this girl can be.
