This is one of the best championship finals I ever saw. The player's age and the mature quality of the game spoke by themselves. Congratulations to both of them!
Boring final. All of the 2 players had a weak serve. Both of them won’t ever win another grand slam.
@@ronaldtosh9222 What a load of tosh
@@ronaldtosh9222 Goes to show how much you know about tennis. If the player just has hard services, that is a boring game for yeah....
@@ronaldtosh9222boring hey! So why are you here!
@@ronaldtosh9222 One of them has yet to win a grand slam, so your point is flawed. If you're going to partake in pre-pubescent trolling at least structure things a little better. Ronald, you've disappointed me...
Raducanu and Fernandez produced tennis worthy of a final.
Could already be the new rivalry like Graff v Seles, Navratilova v Evert, S Williams v Sharapova, Borg v McEnroe, Federer v Nadal.... etc
It was worthy of the men's final
@@andraszoltan2 i only watched the women's final, after that I knew that the mens wouldnt have been better
@@bens1mo637 bang on point my friend
@@bens1mo637 you missed the epic win of Melvedev.
Whenever I’m feeling low I come back and watch this. Possibly the greatest sporting achievement of all time!
Me too
Shame her coach got sacked as a reward
I'll never get bored of watching this match
Me too
Me three lol
Yah
Me too
‘’She went 10 rounds without dropping a set she came in here ranked 150 in the world and she leaves the US Open champion say hello to Emma Raducanu’’
Great call by Mary Carillo
And now say farewell. A one-off fluke that can happen.
@@Househead1200 still better than your sorry life mate!
@@Househead1200 Stick to football Vel Boy.
Wimbledon is the one they all want.
Mary Carillo's known to be biased anyway..LUCK was more like it.
I will never get bored of this. Even with knowing the outcome, it's still exciting.
Lol I literally came here to say this. I think I've watched this like 3-4 times already.
Rare times one can rewatch a sporting event, and enjoy it still.
A beautiful match , great players . You are right , very exciting .
So many errors so many mistakes I could have won the game with all the errors from both players.
Same here man, I never get enough of certain matches like 2017 AO between Roger and Rafa particularly the last 26 minutes of the 5th set where Roger won 5 games in a row to win the championship 6-3 !
Raducanu's backhand is top notch. But her smile is out of this world. Congrats to both players!!!
i m waiting for leylah to start whipping it like nadal soon...
i have the exact feeling ..the backhand is deadly..if she gets better tht backhand is unstoppable
Blaze a hole thru tennis rackets and men's 💕
Why don't you say what you're actually thinking? The smile compliment is a mask for what you really mean but don't want to say ;)
Emma has an unbelievable backhand
Anyone who thought two lower ranked players would mean a low quality final should just watch that first set.
Fearless from both.
As an Englishman what Emma Raducanu did in New York will go down not just in Tennis folklore but also as one of the greatest sporting achievements in Britsh sporting history...and that's why I will never get bored watching this match over and over again.
Yes i agree but nadal has twenty sorry
@@troxxcoroxx2776 yeah but nadal isnt as pretty
@@troxxcoroxx2776 Not when he was 18 years old.
@@troxxcoroxx2776 ? And he didn't win a major via qualifying, first time it's ever been done !
@@luciusesox1luckysox570 that is very meritorious, no doubt... I think winning with that age is unreal
This is one of the best women's finals in years, and I can't even remember when was the last time I saw a women's final like this. Congrats to Emma!
I'm gutted the match Fernandez wasn't able to take it to a decider, but Raducanu was relentlessly hanging in there in the second set when she was having everything but the kitchen sink thrown at her. I love watching the ladies of the 90's and I just hope we're going into a strong era of women's tennis with some characters and consistency. It's a shame Barty retired and Osaka is struggling mentally :(
Um this is 1 of the best? Seriously, considering some of the others we have seen recently on the women's side?
This is surprisingly entertaining. The skill and variety shown here hasn’t been seen in women’s tennis for decades.
i never watch women's tennis . but i watched this one and it felt like the best women's tennis i ever saw
It's like men's tennis. They play fast.
Watch graf seles vieos.
@@edwinfcapidos I mean, surely the point is that it's like men's tennis but they play slower?
@@positive120 Seles 106dB 😹
Spoiling g by sacking her coach next day ruining her career forever
10 games, 20 sets, 19days, qualifier, no sets dropped, that belongs in the hall of fame, and on day 20, met gala, the most famous teen on earth, can a life change so quick like that
And no tie-breaks either!
Amazingly it’s only the start of her tennis career yet a film can already be made about her.
The best part was that I didn't have to watch it with the volume off. Fantastic.
this is my 20th times watching this highlights, I cant get enough of the brilliance of Raducanu, absolutely superb athlete!
Me too, she is amazing.
Nadal is better he has 20 she just 1
@@troxxcoroxx2776 ..... is this a serious comment?
@@troxxcoroxx2776 ofc nadal is better what are you saying lol
@@asdfswer4657 he wasn't saying anything other than he loves watching emma it was you that brought Nadal into it poinlessly. especially when he wasn't trying to compare the two
Emma got a megawatt smile.~ how can you not love this rising tennis star~
This match is a glorious spectacle for tennis after everything that happened in the semis. Leylah Fernandez beating Aryna Sabekenka and Emma Raducanu beating Maria Sakkari. To confirm the changing of the guard. To highlight the fearlessness of the new generation. To create history by having two teenagers unseeded reach the final. Players who will be connected together because of this unique piece of history. Two players who have a charismatic style of play. They are exciting to watch, not robotic ball bashers. They play silently during the points but evoke emotions after the points. They engage the crowd and the fans love them back. There is serenity, elegance and poise to both of their games. It was such a special 5 hours of tennis that night. The celebrations even greater because they both won with that style and personality of play. It created a final where there was no loser. They both triumphed in a special way. Winning the hearts of sports fans across the world.
One of the reporter said that no one was leaving as soon as the match is over like they usually do. Great match.
Well said!
nicely articulated
That was beautiful - I was about to say something very similar!
My contribution: Emma reminds me of Russell Crowe in "Gladiator" - after defeating his opponent, he gees up the crowd .. "Are you not entertained!?"
Yes. Emma is a gladiator on the court.
@@jazzx251 yeah, after she won the first set
definitely history in the making. 2 unranked teens in the US finals, emma first qualifier to win & never losing a single set.. amazing
You also forgot to mention emma is the first British woman to win a grand slam in tennis since 1977
The way Emma changes the direction of the ball is INSANE
she takes some heavy RISKS there ! those shots are NOT prodigy or prowess. Those shots are MATHEMATICS
Did this look like a Final played between two teens, each in their first Grand Slam final? Fantastic entertaining game, a shame that there had to be a loser but also great that a fairytale came true for one of them - and thanks to US Open for uploading a longer clip than the original approx 3-minute one :-) This gives a much better insight to the on-court battle
It didn't even look like a match between two players ranked outside of the top 50! More like a match played between two ranked closely in the top 5.
@@damot1051 This could have been 1 v 2. In a few months, it might be.
Such a pleasure to watch tennis again with no one screaming with every shot.
I am a Filipino but my heart is with Emma Raducanu. She is gracious, elegant, kind and so mature for a young woman. She's got a great head on her shoulders, pun absolutely intended. I also love her playstyle - perfect balance of controlled aggression, smart shot selection and airtight defensive skills. I think this is the first of many grand slams for her. Tennis fans couldn't have asked for a better ambassador of the sport and she couldn't have come at a better time than now. I am a fan!
Likewise , she’s the complete package , killer instinct with killer smile , gorgeous with immense talent 😁 plus seems quite intelligent too
Perfectly articulated!!!
She might never reach this high again... but lets appreciate the extraordinary achievement this was. Its unprecedentaed
might?
@@jackwilliams5474 will*
lol@@stephanshishkov9373
I've watched tennis match for more than 20 years, but I've never seen the youth showdown in any grand slam's final before.
Hope both of them can make greater achievements
You never watched Hingis vs Williams’?
@@kecleonboi Well that was 22 years years ago.
@@jgooner894 yeah and he said more than 20 years
@@kecleonboi could be 21 years
or could have just missed taht game. Is not like he argued this was the only teen final in last 20 so years, all he said is he did not see anything like this before.
What I noticed about these amazing tennis ladies is, no overdramatic screams or panting during each play, what a breath of fresh air!
Hate those grunting sounds
Don’t know when these two young ladies going to meet again. Before that, I can only watch this video again and again when I miss them.
Love the reaction after winning the first set
I mirrored it at home.... Scared the cat.
Brilliant match - so nice to see a women’s match where both play great at the same time and aren’t just blasting each other off the court in 1 or 2 shots. Well there was a bit of that too 😆 - Emma thoroughly deserved that win, she’s a 🌟 , but I think the future’s bright for both her and Leylah! 💪👍🙌
What a final. From a qualifier to a champion, Emma Raducanu!
Please us open give us all emma match since the qualifier....never get bored
She has mixture or Li Na and Ana Ivanovic.what a ball striker and composure in the whole match.well done Emma!
Her backhand reminds me so much of Li’s (which is one of the best backhands in WTA history)! The placement, the ability to change direction. Tennis hasn’t been so excited for a long time.
i thought sharapova
She looks like a mix of them too 🤣
I miss Ana.
Yes I can see Ivanovic forehand when she really goes for it on return
No grunting, no towelling down after every shot, just a pleasure to watch.
To be fair, players can’t really control sweat production.
The absence of heavy, loud grunting is one of the things that made this final a pleasure to watch.
Grunting comes with time! Be patient!
You use whatever means to help you or to give you an edge as long as it's within the rules. Towelling down after a point is a way to compose yourself ready for the next point or to throw your opponent's rhythm off. It'll be wise for her to learn these small things if she wants to get to the top and stay there.
@MoronicWaterBuffalo reaching the final of a GS doesn't constitute 'proper professionals' to you?
I have never seen a women’s player be so incredible in return games over a tournament as Raducanu was at this US Open. Felt like she had break points in almost every single game in every match. She had EIGHTEEN break points against Fernandez in only two sets... that’s crazy
Emma was too generous on break points and championship points. She has to improve that.
@@SainyaHokage Yeah she definitely needs to be a bit more ruthless when it comes to break points because with her return she creates a lot of them. She did amazingly to hold serve throughout the tournament when she faced break points, but that won’t always happen.
She's the new Agassi.
@@SainyaHokage I agree ! On the other hand it is remarkable how many break opportunities she created here, or in the tournament.
I can help you there. Over the course of the US Open up to but not including the final, she had break points in 33 out of 48 games! She also only dropped her serve 5 times over the same matches.
She won with an ace! What a way to win the final point! 👏
An ace at 108mph 💪💪💪👍👍👍👏👏👏
I just love watching their game face, so much fire and determination. Both are cute and smile all the time outside of competition but when the light is on their expressions turned into cold blooded competitor. Awesome women !!!
I would say “kool” players instead …
Both girls played a phenomenal match. Emma had more smart shots and is extremely efficient. She participated in motocross, skiing, golf, horse riding, and score A in Economics at school. The advantage of her multi-sports and well-rounded background shows in this match.
She is also a prolific e-sports racer and has beaten some of the best e-sports F1 racers in the world.
@@kytestar ever seen the film D.A.R.Y.L. feels like this
She's a Boston Dynamics blackops?
She play ping pong tennis in China too
You forget that she got A* in mathematics (A star = even better than an A!) - which is why she thinks the mental discipline of maths gives her a tactical advantage over her opponents
Best ladies tennis I've ever watched
Got a feeling we’re going to see this matchup a “few” more times! Looking forward to it. Two new tennis stars are born!
That didn’t age well…
😂😂
I love them BOTH and can`t wait to see them play again
I used to think men’s tennis matches are more fascinating than women’s, however Emma and Lilar totally changed my opinion. I really enjoyed that they both conquered their much muscular opponents and brought us this marvelous US open final.
Emma is a star. She has all the shots and great mental strength
Uhm.
XD
I keep on coming back to rewatch this amazing display of tennis ❤️
Emma is a champ, but she’s also polite, eloquent, funny, tough, and speaks mandarin, what a package, Nike and Wilson must be delighted with this outcome 😂 😃
She probably speaks Romanian as well.
@@skinnygumbo2700 quite
@@skinnygumbo2700 she does, tho with English and Chinese accent. She also speaks a bit of French
She's polite no doubt.... But she fired her coach as soon as getting 1st major tournament win... What a way to say thank you... I hope she doesn't follow the footsteps of Vanilla Ice... A one hit wonder
@@ashariosman2391 the comment was posted before she fired her coach
Nice to see two young ladies playing tennis without the grunting,may they both have long and successful careers
Grunting is awful
The power of Raducanu’s ground strokes is astounding, while maintaining accuracy, and she moves so well!
Neither player has pressure to win or any baggage coming in the finals. I love how both play with so much freedom like there’s nothing to lose. Usually in the start of the match players tend to be tight but both players just went right at it.
I love this, no screaming like a banshees, just a pure elegant game to watch
Leylah only lacked a little bit of serve quality other than that rallies were evenly matched. On some points, it felt like female versions of Djokovic and Nadal since they both move so well on the court. Especially Emma's returns were amazing, could be one of the best on the tour. Overall, haven't seen a match of this quality in a while. Beautiful how they just refuse to move back from the baseline and hits early and pushing each other with similar styles. Could be a start of something special but of course, it would take an amazing amount of consistency and brilliance on and off the court, so we will hope and see.
I guess it was just a one-off
I don’t remember either of these young ladies even questioning a line call in the whole match. No tantrums no histrionics, no grunting - I hope this is the future!
The line technology is advanced and done by computer so there is no need to question line calls
@@ekojay8279 doesn’t seem to stop some of the others!
@@martynadams2011 There are some who still questioned the call. They can request a video replay of the line call if they don't believe but it has always been accurate and backed up the call made by the computer. It should be implemented at other tournaments if possible. As you said, they did not question the call.
@@ekojay8279 I think the reason players question an automated line call is tactical. They know its correct, but they want a few extra seconds to reset, or maybe to disrupt the rhythm of their opponent.
Love watching them esp without grunting sounds spoiling the ball sounds and squeaking of their shoes
Thanks to US Open Tennis Championships for posting the extended highlights of this most unexpected and historic Final!!
Besides fluid serves, capability to change directions, anticipation is a big gift for Emma. Leylah's forehand is phenomenal, that does look like Nadal.
yes i agree of her forehand reminds me of Rafa as they are both left handed too.❤️
Granted this is just highlights but I don’t see one single down the line shot off a short ball from Fernandez. Makes it predictable that she’s always going cross in that scenario
❤️ Emma doing a that scene from Gladiator after winning the first set "Are You Not Entertained" ❤️🇬🇧😋
Still can not get my head around this absolutely amazing , it is the sporting achievement of the decade surely
No qualifier has won a grand slam in it entire history, so in tennis terms it's the sporting achievement of the century 👏
just by watching her confidence in this court, you can tell Emma is a champion.
I love this! There is no grunting! 2 extremely fit and talented athletes!
Hate the grunting sound
14:56 That point from Fernandez is so Nadal like.
unexpected Nadal-Djokovic reincarnation))
Absolutely a nadal one two punch…a looper to the backhand side then a down the line winner. Too bad she didn’t produce more of those
@@Jardinier2023 Her first serve let her down. Raducanu has a great return from both the wings so first serve was really important. Anyways, the technique, variety, timing and court craft displayed by both the players in that match makes this a very interesting match up for the future.
@@rickeymohan8972 Her first serve percentage was low BECAUSE Radacanu has a great return of serve. Essentially Fernandez felt pressured into putting an extra 5-10mph onto each first serve because of Radacanu's lethal returns. That is liable to drop the percentages.
What a match these two put on! Hoping for many more from them in future!
I like both players’ style. A fun game to watch. True rivalry. Hope see them in more finals .
Felicitaciones a estas dos jóvenes tenistas, dueñas de gran técnica pero sobre todo simpatía y carisma. Saludos desde Ambato 🇪🇨🎾
Yess!
Emma is so strong and so smart as a player, the tactics are amazing, every hit has a clear purpose. It’s just incredible how a young player with not much grand slam experience can achieve this level!!
Yes! Towards the end she completely broke Fernandez physically and mentally! Emma's physical training is absolutely insane!
No loud grunting. No lopsy shots. Just pure teenage power.
At last extended highlights...
Ik I’ve been waiting
I can watch this all day. Simplely delightful. Emma, keep your fearlessness and keep your cool!
Whenever I feel down I come back this match, quite simply one of the most magical moments in all sporting history. Form is temporary but class is timeless, I know what I saw at the US Open, this girl will lift a lot more trophies in the future.
No she won't
I loved watching Seles, and the way she changed the game. Both of these players emulate her, with or without knowing it. I loved the 1991 semi-final against Capriati. As for finals, due to Raducanu being a qualifier, this might be my favorite final, especially considering her smile and incredulous look after each victory. Like, is this really real? I'm sure I will re-watch this final a few times. I certainly hope we will see much more of Fernandez and Raducanu in slam finals.
Such an amazing player Emma truly inspires everyone..
Just gotta love her play , attitude and energy
Both of their ground strokes are so powerful, they absolutely rip baseline shots back and forth to each other. The sky is the limit for Raducanu, she’s only 18 years old, she’s already won a major, she’s beautiful, if she can back this win up she could be the new face of women’s tennis .
I don’t even follow tennis. This girl got me into it 😁
That kind of comments sounds weird already seen
Which one?
Watched highlights of all her rounds about 6 times since she won! Can't get enough!💖🔥🏆🌟🇬🇧
me too :)
This was such a fun game to watch, they both played exceptional tennis. Very excited to see another match (preferably a final) between these two.
網球除了力量的展現之外，艾瑪還多了智慧和敏鋭精準的判斷力，目前女網應該沒有人能繫敗她．她是力、美、智慧的結合！
完全同意 正是如此 ✔✔✔✔✔✔👍👍👍💪💪💪😊😊😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I was pleasantly surprised that for me , this years ladies final was the main event! Don’t get me wrong, the men’s final was great, especially seeing a different winner. But the ladies final. Emmazing Raducanu.. Layla Fernandez. Top quality.
Honestly, the WTA has been more interesting than the ATP for at least the last two years. 2007-2017 was an incredible period in the men's game. At its peak, you had five players hunting for trophies with a realistic chance of winning: Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, Murray, Wawrinka. (Occasionally Delpo if he was fit.) With Murray out as an effective force since mid-2017, Wawrinka no longer in the hunt, and Federer stop-start, it's been pretty dull stuff, dominated heavily by Djokovic.
great competition they both made history . a real fight . most tennis matches look like the athletes are burned out but here there is a real fight .
Emma is just going to evolve to a different level, you can see she has everything. Although a great match, Emma stepped it up more when it was needed. She will be in a league of her own in years to come. Also in consideration, the vast majority of the crowd were one sided. Emma played some great tennis to win some key points without the applause that was deserved.
I totally agree with you.
no big deal :) It could have been WORSE much worse then that ! :)
@Paul Kryder :d lol
@Paul Kryder i bet any tennismen male or women WOULD happily chose the hostile public over the abnoxious depopulated ITF tournaments WHERE you can hear even the birds song during the match :D
@Paul Kryder Not always true. When you are playing very well, a crowd often reacts towards the art being shown. Emma hardly got anything from the crowd and she was outstanding.
Bringing her American Dream in to a reality. Its an Outstanding Achievement!
Yes! The way Emma crushes opponents is amazing! Towards the end she completely breaks her opponents physically, mentally emotionally! Look at the sheer strength of her arms and her shots! If you see her strength training routine it is just scary!!
Before this final match , I thought Fernandez has strong shots. But, after this match, I realized that Emma can hit more powerful and faster shots than Fernandez. Besides, Emma has top-notch movement. Hopefully, both players can make it to top 5 in the world. I believe it will be a highlight on WTA
To me. Emma s movement is far more impressive then her shots ! If she feels confident enough she's lightning fast. But she s also very economic with her strides xD as if... ''nah thats not my style '' :D
@@kukulroukul4698 i know right... i'm very impressed with her. She's quite calculating and strategic and there were many times she rightly anticipated her opponent's moves and which side the ball was gonna come. They both played brilliantly, and to think they're still just teenagers! Can't wait for them to take on Osaka in the future.
Emma needs her fighting spirit in this US open back.
I’m 66 now and I’ve never watched tennis in my entire life. Do now though !!
Her flawless crisp strokes are a delight to watch. Not to mention she is so beautiful to look at as well. Tennis really needs her and I hope she wins many more slams.
Emma Raducanu played incredible. Congratulations to the champ. Also she is very beautiful. wow
Her backhands just remind me so much of Li Na, the attack goes so smoothly
Fernandez 笑得太早了 最後還輸了態度!!
Best ever U.S open womens final period !!!!
Imagine the next grandslam tournament she's in she wins it again without dropping a set 😂😂😂
Everyone's going to bring their best game next time. That would make it all even more impressive if she does win!
What does dropping a set mean? Can you give a example. I’m new to tennis.
Mind blown! But it may occur quite easily! :))))
@@ahmadalmutawa1567 every game is a best of 3 sets, dropping a set just means to lose one of the sets. For example, Leylah beat Osaka, as she won 2 sets but only lost 1. This is “dropping a set”
She could just do it as she is very aggressive and her game can only improve from now on. Her tennis is supreme. Very hard for anyone to beat Emma.
Very well played by both young ladies, and no shrieking, very enjoyable to watch.
Emma most deserving winner, simply the best
Truly a fairytale in New York.
Ill be rewatching this now n again for years! Possibly for ever! Awesome still.😮
What a fantastic young lady, a real breath of fresh air in woman's tennis.
Amazing how aggressive and attacking they both are with so much accuracy and power ball strike timing.
Stepping into shots and going for the space and lines.
The level was incredible and Emma just had that bit more on her end.
Superb TENNIS!
you are right
Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the match for two first-timers and teens. Best point 6:19, gotta love a rally!
wow, it's refreshing to watch a tennis match without the constant screaming/grunting.
Emma's forehand is lethal. #1 in England and soon to be #1 in the US. 👏🏾
Emma is playing with so much confidence here. I wonder if winning the USO and then having the pressure of being a GS champion got to her. Hope she can play like this again.
this is the stuff of dreams for Emma - just incredible
I have a gut feeling she will be the Wimbledon champion in 2022. GO FOR IT EMMA !!
There's so much to be excited about for the future of the women's game for at least the next 5-10 years, hopefully. Fernandez reminds me of a female Nadal. All the shots in the book. A tenacity that's hard to break. The physical abilities. Raducanu is special in and of herself. Her physical movement is truly just gorgeous to watch. Her shot selection and instincts on the court rival Djokovic. Her tenacity is also impressive, like Djokovic. I am thankful this match happened and let's pray that these two create a great rivalry like Chris/Martina, Steffi/Monica, Roger/Rafa/Novak.
Did they ever play each other again?
@@carrerau7138 I'm not aware of another match between them. Unfortunately, neither one of them has lived up to the promise after this USO Final.
@@senorgato70 Yes, no one can predict the future in sports.
We all should learn from this.
For instance Gauff may have won her first and last slam with the USO win a few weeks ago.
I‘m old enough to remember how “experts“ predicted multiple slams for Michael Chang in 1989. Or about a decade later that no one would surpass Sampras‘ 14 slam record.
Great Final‼️The two players are Great tennis players. I defenitly prefer women's tennis. Greetings from México.
