In the final of the US Open. Wow could be the first British women to win a grand Slam since Virginia Wade in 1977.
The first qualifier ever to reach a grand slam final.
The 18 year old hasn't dropped a set at this years US open
Incredible.
She will face fellow teenager Leylah Fernandez in the final on Sunday. The first all teen final since 1999 when Serena Williams played against Martina Hingis.

She's so calm and composed for her age. I'm nervous enough for the both of us. I'm trying not to watch but keep getting drawn back to check. |

Hope she can keep that level up for a long time! 🤞 She simply had to win SPOTY although some that missed out can count themselves unlucky. To win it in an Olympic year where we had great success just further empthasises the achievement. |

Takes the first set 6-0 in 17 minutes in a very dominant game. Early days but encouraging.

Takes the first set 6-0 in 17 minutes in a very dominant game. Early days but encouraging. And takes the match in 3 sets. Bit if a lull in set 2, but a great win against a very good player |

Knocked out in the second round in three sets unfortunately. She put up a good fight though, better than our cricketers down under. Well done Emma.

Yes, although knocked out she appears to face up to defeats and accepts them with a good spirit. I always thinks she interviews like she’s a normal person and answers questions in an honest way that is very refreshing. I hope her PR people don’t change her too much and take her common sense away.
