Same as a reward for hitting the inside of the post. Can go either way.
Cet Nord's.
Nah, it’s part of the game. Bit like saying if the all hits the post it’s a drop ball.
She's Canadian. Well both of them are but they must like her better
Hugs.
It happens too often to be worth replaying a point each time I think and doesn't always work in your favour.
Maybe someone has some stats on points won/lost after hitting a net cord
She's a psuedo-yank playing in yanksville?
How accurate were those shots
Wow
Wow
feck me that was amazing
You are very welcome.
Canadian in America.
And she breaks back, two really good points
Playing styles is missing from one of those sentences. For fecks sake let me enjoy the tennis.
Amazing
“Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like it if I got angry”
I do kind of get the Fernández support, her vibe is a bit more sympathetic.
That’s a few times she’s done that backhand return on the second serve. Beautiful.
Elaborate.
But you generally have to have beaten the keeper anyway to score via the post. Striking the net cord can earn you a point from a shit shot
Tennis is a game that can literally have a single match go on forever because of the daft final set rules. I'm not sure "adding time" is much of a concern.
Yeah. You can see Raducanu is a bit more “emotions on my sleeve” type. Whereas Fernandez seems more reserved. Which can sometimes make them more endearing. Especially when you don’t know anything about either. I hadn’t heard of either of these people until let’s say a couple weeks ago. I guess in time it’ll be great to know why their personalities actually are.
Some of Fernandez shots are immense, ones she has no right to do
I think they are both super likable.
And now 3-2
The momentum swings in this match is crazy

She just comes across as disarming.
Man I am old... I am in my mid 30s and these two look like as if I am watching two junior players, two kids almost. Emma has a good charisma, hopefully she becomes a star as women tennis needs a star desperately.
What’s the reason why there are so many breaks or close games? It’s rare to see break opportunities come so frequently. Just both playing really well or weak serves? Seems 2nd serve % is quite high, perhaps that?
During the tournament I think Fernandez has fed off the crowd a lot. While the UK audience focuses on Raducanu, it's Fernandez that has been involved in the thrilling matches against top players this tournament where the crowd has helped her massively
It's someone more common in women's tennis.
Hitting a ball with that power and that close to the net I don’t see as a shit shot at all. As I say, it’s like claiming Tony Yeboah’s goal was a shit shot, beating a keeper means nothing if that bounces back out from the bar. You’re dealing with incredible levels of power and accuracy.
I mean, I get your point, but I do see it more as a reward for these players seriously going for it.
Bloody hell she’s powerful on those deep shots
Camera-person putting a lot of focus on the umpire there 
Wow this game could be huge.
More break points for Emma
Pressure on for Fernandez
Pressure on for Fernandez
She’s in the zone now.
Neither player has a dominant first serve and both are good returners.
dont blame her or heCamera-person putting a lot of focus on the umpire there
