Raducanu won't be able to even walk in the 2nd set unless they postpone it to tomorrow...

Playing well 

[PhillippaT]

dammit - can't be a British net, then?  

 

EDIT: not that it mattered

Best I have seen her play for a long time

I clearly said 2nd set.

i thought they had introduced a rule stopping those horrendous noises whilst in play, it's just horrible listening to Sabalenka, even worse I would imagine with the roof closed

I predict Sabalenca wins set 2 quite easily so Emma needs to win this tie break 

 

[Angus Scott]

Sabalenka looks like she's just come off the front line fighting the Ukraines. Very unlikeable & that's not British bias

[st albans fox]

I can imagine @whoareyaaawith his eyes closed listening to sabalenca’s grunts …..

What a dirty mind you have 

[HighPeakFox]

She can miss a volley like the one at 4-5 and then play that drop shot at 6-5...

[whoareyaaa]

Not looking good

Too good from Sabalenka...

[leicsmac]

I fear the second set will also be the final one and it won't be that close.

 

There's a reason she's the world number one. But yes, she doesn't seem all that likeable.

 

 

[PhillippaT]

Go Emma!

Can I ask why she seems unlikeable? Admittedly it's my first time watching her but she seems fine. Seemed genuinely concerned when raducanu slipped and hurt her self. Granted she's a big old unit who's totally focused on winning but can't see what there is to dislike.

[whoareyaaa]

Brilliant

I predict that most of you have no idea what you're talking about  

[foxes_rule1978]

Raducanu playing absolutely superb stuff at the moment 

[Fear Of The Fox]

Sabalenka is ignoring her coach. She's playing top spins all the time in the 2nd set without any net play. She's so stubborn she doesn't even acknowledge her mistakes on tactics.
