What an amazing story! From the UK Pro League to winning her first ever WTA Level title at a Grand Slam... qualifying for the main draw and not dropping a set. The stuff of Legends!
I applaud the efforts by UK Pro League in providing playing opportunities for British tennis players - particularly when Covid had so drastically reduced them last year. Not just Emma and Harriet but also Jody Burrage (and of course they continue to do so with fresh face this yearthis year). Take a well-deserved bow for your contribution to Emma (and Harriet's Doubles success) in 2001.
Playing here with no fans whatsoever, and a year later, before a packed house at Ashe stadium and winning the US Open. UNBELIEVABLE achievement by Emma.👏👏👍👍🎾🎾🎾🎾
What a Talent Emma is :-) The smile of a Champion. A well deserved $2.5 million payday obviously makes it so much sweeter. One thing for sure is that the Tennis world is very excited for the prospect of your powerful brand of tennis and future triumphs. Onwards and upwards Emma. 🎾👍🏻👏👏👏👏
It is very interesting to see these old games. (I had no idea there is such a thing as UK Pro League; of course I have only discovered that there is as a result of Emma's recent triumph.) One thing I like about these videos is the insightful commentary. The names of the commentators should be in the description! It is a pity too that their post-match reflections at the end were cut off. I doubt I am the only one who would have liked to have heard everything they had to say about the match. and of course Emma's performance in particular.
I believe the UK Pro League is broadcast live on BT Sport here. I do remember seeing a BT Sport Extra channel having a mens match on at one point. Feels like I missed out watching this live last year as I could of seen the birth of something quite extraordinary!
One thing Emma is clearly better than Leylah is her serves. Most players can put up a hard and fast 1st serve but Emma's 2nd is not bad at all. The way she moves, no wonder Emma won the US Open. Go, Emma! Prepare well and try to win the Aussie Open.
Wow after Raducanu's win everything they discuss - long term goals, opposition etc seems so quaint by comparison... Goes to show - dream big. Still can't believe Raducanu won the "United States Open Tennis Championship" (in the words of HM the Queen), and I've watched all the matches back! 🎉🎉🎉✨✨✨🐱👤
I can't imagine that Emma will be playing in a tournament like this again. Amazing to think that Harriet Dart beat her just weeks before she became US Open champion.
That is a bit misleading - Dart beat her at the beginning of June and so 3 months earlier - but of course your point remains a good one. Dart did beat her just three weeks before she reached the fourth round at Wimbledon though!
It's a shame she didn't do better in the qualifiers along with the other 4 British women, but to win the game you've got to be in the game, sadly they didn't make it
I remember my tennis coach said to me there is only two possible reasons why a tennis player losses in a match: 1. You made most of the mistakes meaning you gave your opponent presents so it an easy win for an opponent 2. the opponent was better than you meaning smarter and leading the game
Love the commentators talking about how much prize money she can get from being in this final- it’s is so laughingly small given Saturdays payday after the open 🤣Great tennis Emma
@@gravinboginagis6568 I think "@Gaming Tonight" referred to the English pound. But it should be somewhere near 1.8 million instead of 1.3. I hope I am right.
Emma & her family need to make sure the wicked media does not ruin this lovely & talented teenager's life! Too much fuss Too much publicity Too much nonsense Emma was brought up with inner belief, taking care of each day as best as possible! This is most sadly NOT taught by British parents!
I so sincerely hope that she can remain consistent at her game, and does not get crushed by her own meteoric rise to success. Please do not turn into another Naomi Osaka.
Osaka's nightmare started when she won her first Grand Slam on a bitter side as Serena Williams taunt her. Plus Osaka is more of an introvert person compared to Emma. Emma won her battle fair and square against an opponent similar to her age on US Open. You can see how she handles the media much better compare to how Osaka handled hers.
Naomi has mental health issues THAT is the main difference. She is still outrageously talented, you don't just simply lose talent at that level. Like any high level sport psychology is just as, if not more, important than physicality. Naomi appears 'fragile' even before games now whereas Emma just has that incredible mentality. Part youthful lack of fear but mostly just incredible honed will/focus. As long as she maintains that imo she'll (and Fernades) will shake the women's game.

It’s funny that they haven’t recognized Emma’s ability yet. It’s all about “ POTENTIAL”. Of course, nobody could have predicted that she would win the U.S. Open in her first try. Dart is now just a footnote compared to Emma.
Who ? The commentator already said her game is excellent and no vulnerability, etc ... even said her "craft" is already so far beyond her year. LTA? They are the one who keep pushing Emma to get wild card for Wimbledon in 2021 even when she lack of match experience for the last 2 years.
At this time they knew that Emma was their only player that had a chance of winning something of consequence and they wanted to bend her way.. As they said, Harriet was double bageled by Sharapova on 01/13/19. I'm writing this as dart is playing in a w100 Tokyo after being booted out of us open in the qualies.. Sad ending to her 2023
Let's all give thaks that Serena is in the rear view mirror... She was a big part of the reason women's tennis lost viewers and young players... She never embraces the audience and in turn she was not embraced.
1:34:40 Chair umpire overruled Emma at 30-love in the last game with a doubtful "on-the-line" call which Emma vehemently challenged with him being on the other side and her right there. And here seeing the same chair umpire having a discussion with Dart after the match. Odd.

Why do you keep repeating this rubbish, It is British vs British. What is your issue or problem or are you just a racist? Was there not someone in the 1930-40s that thought the only good blood was pureblood?
Much English media hysteria has been seen about this player but the truth is if many of he top seeds had played in New York and given she was a wild card entry she would most likely have been out in the 1st or 2nd rounds. She will not win another major open title.
Top seed Barty was defeated by Rogers. Two days later Raducanu took out Rogers. Fernandez beat 2nd seed Sabalenka. Raducanu defeated Fernandez. Emma didn't get a wildcard. She had to qualify. What's the point of your negative evaluation?
It is also interesting to note that it was Harriet Dart who beat Raducanu at Nottingham just prior to Wimbledon this year, just before the teenager's rise to prominence. Unlike Gerry Robbertson, I believe Raducanu will win another major open title, but maybe not for a couple of years yet. She has got to learn a lot about the WTA circuit and develop her game solidly. Once she can do that, she'll be one of the top 5 in the world.

It's an age thing. Dart is fully matured, Emma - like a sprinter still has room for huge growth and therefore improvement.
