Shame a medical TO had to end the momentum, but Laylah would have had to break Radu again to win the set. Tell task.

Emma played her first WTA match of the year in June. She was ranked 366.

The only reason she played Wimbledon is she got a wildcard. What an insane run these two just had.

I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like what she just did. She qualified into this tournament ranked 170. And not only did she not drop a set; she was barely dropping games. Her scorelines look like peak Rafa at RG. Holy frickballs. I don't even know if there's context for this.

That's what Chris, Mary Joe, and Pam were saying the other day. She played some chick Sorribes Tormo, who is apparently solid, and beat her 0 and 1. Dismantled Rogers and beat up Sakkari, who was on fire. Crazy.

Hearing that sexy Brit accent from Emma puts her over the top.

Now I just hope Gauff develops her game more fully into an aggressive power style so we can three young studs from 3 different nations battling for a long while.

She does not have a Cockney accent.

Emma grew up with money.

She’s got the wealthy British accent.

Was a very fun match. Great runs by both, and I hope they are both around and successful for many years.

Amazing that Radacanu came through freaking qualifying and did that. Ten matches, won twenty sets and dropped zero. And Fernandez came through a ton of great players to get her spot in the final.

Agree with the poster who said it will be cool if these two and Coco Gauff are battling it out for majors.

That's about as opposite of cockney as you can get. It's borderline RP.

Mad exec is gonna smoke Novak… the pressure is just to much for him. I know we have seen him have slow starts but this one is real bad.

Novak was really tight the first few games, but has settled down now. Let's see if Med can finish off this set. If not, it's going to be one way traffic.

I disagree. Just because she’s not calling her nose an “in and out” doesn’t mean it doesn’t sound cockney to me. Sounds like she drops her h a good bit.
