She talks, handles herself and looks like an absolute champion
She interviews like someone who has been on the tour years. Such an exciting breath of.fresh air for British tennis
A realistic and grounded young lady, she'll go far
You americans tell that cause she has a British accent Not saying I disagree with you through
I’m not American 😂
@@jackmartin9303 There is nothing british in her.
The most impressive thing is, she doesn't even seen phased by any of this. She's standing there talking like she's been there done that for years......
Yeah she was raised really well, with many opportunities
the interviewers are so annoying asking about leylah. emma is so classy responding the way she did
Really? Classy? She refuses even to speak her name (Leylah); There's no acknowledgement that the other one is an incredible player as well. She is incredible, but she is definitely not classy.
I agree. This b**ch keeps on asking about Leylah to her every post match interview. And she doesn't ask Leylah about her.
@@iphar haha she doesn't give a f*ck about Leylah. She only said the truth... She was focusing on her self. Why does the truth always bother people?
@@iphar you’re simply wrong
@@iphar you ppl...
This Saturday Women’s Final will be the first in which there will be no loser! Both will forever be remembered as winners and champions! 🇨🇦❤️🇬🇧
yes exactly
Except for Leylah
So well said!
@@jackporter9648 hah!
I guarantee that the women's US Open champ will have been born in Canada. 100%, any takers?
So well-spoken and articulate and not to mention gorgeous. She's going to be super star on the world stage and a sponsors dream
I was very impressed with the maturity she displayed in that interview, including the way she sidestepped the question she didn't want to answer. Well done, that young woman!
@@dr6124 what it helped her put hours of dedication into to being a great tennis player, not sure what her parents wealth have to do with her ability to play tennis! Bit of a daft thing to say
@@dr6124 true, but it counts for nothing if you don't have talent.
@@carlwood6830 Nothing against Emma , but of course the wealth helps !!! It allows 100% dedication to whatever you want to achieve ..
@@dr6124 also learned hard work from her parents then so win-win. Successful family
"Just been thinking about myself today to be honest" As all the champions do. "No pressure on me is there I'm just a qualifier" :D Great answers and attitude. This woman has it all.
Yes, she can focus very well on what has to be done.
This girl is pure class what a player but the way she handles the interviews different class go win it girl you are amazing ❤️
She's an utter star. Articulate, composed and a brilliant player.
Articulate? Same words over and over again. Honestly...
@@SuperGeronimo999 Are you jealous?
@@domremyuk About what? Her vocabulary? Surely not.
@@SuperGeronimo999 Every player says the same things in interviews. "Great playing here, love the city, i want to thank my team, all props to my opponent, she played a great game, i'm so happy to have won", and on it goes YADA YADA YADA !!
Whoever lose in the final should be very proud of themselve for the accomplishments they have done during this tournament.
loses
@@stonew1927 u got it!!!! 👍
Luckily the winner had no pressure to begin with 😉
@@stonew1927 loses - just saying!
haha i love her response in each question. it's like " do you know what i just can't be bothered who's i'm playin with, i'm just going out there and enjoy the game" i love her to bits! :)
Very well spoken, dodged a couple of terrible questions from the interviewer - well done Emma !! 😍
Yep, see young people can be smart. Teens take note, media pressure- no problem, think of yourself!
She is so smart
@@pablostrongy8657 She got an A* in A-level maths. She's *very* smart!
Her parents are both financial executives. She's got intelligent genes.
She really does handle herself so well in interviews very impressive.
It’s tough to who to root for between the two teenage finalists. All i can say is “May the best Woman win”. Hoping for an exciting final.
Totally agree
Leylah for the WIN!!😀
Emma for the 🏆 win
Yes, same feeling….
Can’t believe you just presumed her gender
I love her measured comments, it’s so refreshing!
What a joy to watch. She is oozing so much calmness. She is so focused! She handles interviews very well. She’s so talented and she able to display that with so much composure. Amazing!
Martina Navratilova said a few matches before this that Emma was the whole package and that her technique was impeccable, she was right. I'm happy for her after what happened at Wimbledon, she's come back stronger.
How can you not like this girl, she is awesome. The way she conducts herself on court and plays to the way she handles interviews is just amazing. If her team can help her remain grounded and focused she will be a massive, massive star for years to come. At the moment she can and is playing without fear or expectation. Saturday is going to be special with two special young talents playing for the trophy. All we have to do is enjoy history continuing to be made.
This young lady is something special, I get emotional every time she does these interviews, such a humble, amazing, down to earth young lady, we wish you all the best Emma for the weekend, your a star already, and just take care and enjoy the moment, the crowd love you as well
Agree totally. Very humble and down to earth. Love the way she speaks. No arrogance. Wishing Emma all the best
Emma is gonna be a mega star on and off the court.
Like sharon cuneta?
Kudos to both young ladies! Best of luck in the final, and hopefully it's the 1st installment of a great rivalry on the WTA
Both Emma and Leylah are special. Congratulations to both players for reaching the US Final which has the makings to be an incredible match. Exciting times ahead for Women's Tennis.
A tremendous upcoming final! I love both of them, and it's great to know that 2 fresh faces, unseeded players, are in the final. Impressive, exciting. I don't recall seeing unseeded, little known teenagers in a tennis final. Raducanu is, for all her charm and loveliness, a tough and outspoken cookie. I appreciate her honesty.
Enjoy watching her interviews as much as watching her play!
It’s a joy to see such composure and inner confidence from the young lady. She is already inspiring so many young girls (and boys) and here’s to a great career for her.
Britain is proud of you Emma. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
she is canadian
She’s Chinese / Romanian.
@@gavinpaul519 ok sorry but born in Canada
@@deusexmachinawl She sounds more British than Canadian. :P
Wouldn't it be nice if we actually had a British born tennis player come through from say a comp,I look at her and think privileged
2:25 what an absolute star!!
She's beautiful.
Amazing results for tennis. Both Emma and Leylah have made impossible dreams come true. Great to see young fans sharing your journey. Well done Emma.
I don't know if it just me but there is something really infuriating about this interviewer.
@@AshleyKarys true. she's not really cut out to be one!😀
Love the way she expresses herself ,so calm ,no unnecessary gestures ,love her !!!
They keep on asking her about Fernandez coz they both are teens. But both girls are there coz of their own dedication and answering their questions so maturely .... Don't compare them with each other and let them be the writer of theur own stories
This talented young player has plenty of intelligence and drive!
Oh to be so articulate and to have such maturity at the age of just EIGHTEEN! I have a feeling she could do this 🙏🤞
You had accurate feelings
Two weeks ago I told my friends this girl is going to be a next great tennis player , now two weeks later she is in the final. Wow 🤩 I didn’t think is was going to be this soon, but she does have all the tools to become one. Congrats 🎈🎊🎉! Now go get that trophy 🏆 Emma for the 🏆 🏆 win. She is going to be huge , the next highest pay female athlete.
She's so humble like Federer 🤗🔥👌🏻 She's a gem 💎 💫
Congratulations from Romania 🇷🇴🎉🎉🇬🇧
👏🙏
+1 from CHINA
She negotiates the interviews as well as she does the matches. An incredible talent, highly intelligent, a superstar. She came from absolutely nowhere.
Yes and no , I mean the nowhere thing cos she made 4th round of Wimbledon , her first slam entry but I know what u mean though 👍
Yes, she came out of a Chinese mother with a Romanian father’s seed.
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292 She consider himself romanian. Batize as orthodox romania.
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292 why are you a creep?
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292 But she's British and has been for sixteen years.
She’s so well mannered and such a champion!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏😊
For the first time in history, it’s going to be a final where the result DOESN’T count..because we all win! Happy US OPEN Final Emma & Leylah! You’ve given us a wonderful moment in tennis. The real winners are Belief & Hard work, and grit, and mental toughness, and NEVER giving up. What a wonderful day it is today!
Emma, wonderful player, one more walk to win this tournament! You deserve it ! Bravo for your immense performance since the start of the US Open and at Wimbledon
The Force is strong with this one.
Please bring back Jim Courier for the post match interviews.
This girl is gonna be so incredibly marketable
My thoughts exactly, I think she could be the next kornikova, I hope her tennis lasts longer though
especially in Asia, coz she's half chinese and one of her idols is Li Na😀
@@tootspogsforever5590 That says a lot that Li Na was one of her idols, look how she handled herself, she was one of my favorite players.
@@wbev_thai1666 she will actually win things tho
Jesus..Tt's sound like your NOT a creepy perv
Both players fought their way to the final SMILING. Or smiled their fight to the final. I don’t know how to put it. One can enjoy (rejoice even) and win a series of matches. Mesmerising!
Stop asking everytime about inspiration from Leylah!
yes ，Emma 4th round in wilmbeldon inspirate Lelah，which Lelah didnot achieve before usopen
That's because Leylah's matches were played before Emma's. Trust me, if it was the other way around they'd be asking Leylah the reverse-question. I don't think it's favoritism like your comment suggests.
How refreshing to hear such a well spoken young person.
shes just english mate
Shes just english mate
Yeah,english people,they're are not usually well spoken nation 😊 She's totally opposite of them because she's got different roots. She's gonna represent their country in a better light :)
dude she's from england, most people her age from the South sound just like her
@@Cocologs I guess I've never heard them/never saw that group of people 😄 I'm not talking against english people,I'm just saying that many of them don't sound so smart like Ema :) And of course there are many different accents in England :))
Well done girl! Have a great final and may the force be with you 😍😍
Wow! From the quarter finals we all thought it would be amazing if these teenagers faced each other in the finals. I can’t believe it’s actually happening. What a story !
She hits shots that are unbelievable, but even her basic groundies are brutal.
I thought this would be a step too far for her but I'm delighted I was wrong. She STILL hasnt dropped a set!
Emma all the wayyyyyyy!!!the trophy is yours to take!!! Come onnnnn!!!you've got what it takes to be a true champion and a great role model for new generations....love u from Malaysia
Whoever the coach is of this human is incredible genius
What an exciting matchup!
and the next matchup. Majority got their wish come true. Certainly, there is no loser in the finale.
2 teenagers in finals.. Happy for both.. whom i am going to root? Emma.. just wanna see that smile again in finals..😊
She’s just phenomenal, and real star quality . Just drop dead cute . Anything she endorses I’m going to buy. Looking forward to the final 👊💎💎
Honestly, she is honest. 😊
brilliant answer - puts all the pressure on her opponent.
She has the whole marketing package, she straddles West & East in equal measures. That wide beaming smile is genuine, can't fake that.. slim & muscles in the right places.. articulate, no silly mannerisms... just hope she don't fall for FAME route too quick.
Never seen a better female player, she is amazing, great luck to her in her future career, brilliant !!!
Emma what a brilliant set of tennis you brought these three weeks.Your great decision making and the perfect team besides you well done again 👍
I am just so happy to see these two young players take down the higher ranked players. May the best Asian mixed player win and continue to challenge each other in coming tournaments. I am biased I admit as Leylah is half Filipino and I think she has the edge however, it could go Emma's way too. I would be happy for Emma as well as they are both champions already going into the finals.
Raducanu is half communist, so... go Fernandez.
2 princesas en la final maravilloso juegan bien con elegancia

@@sohamdutta9281 Si!
@@richardpierpoint3006?? What are you saying
@@sohamdutta9281 Es Espanol...
Incredible final match-up is perfectly right description.
Pure inspiration ❤
I really dont like the annoying presenter, she ask the same questions every time.
Agree she is really annoying and I think Emma's reactions show this
I actually enjoyed the interview
What a great young woman, great maturity of speech and plays a very individual game exciting beginning to end. Has the ability to go far. Please dispense with the US accent! Will continue to follow your career as you’re sure to give a lot of young people impetus to follow you and by example. Keep your cool and you’ll win your next match for sure. So looking forward to watching you hold that trophy whenever that is.
Hope she wins the championship 😍
Leylah for the WIN!!😀
Emma 😍😍
Great win-loss record. Future of tennis. My new favorite player to root
Perhaps you mean to root for!? To root has a slightly different meaning....
@@chelseapoet3664 Ooh-err, Matron!
Better enjoy it now cuz it's likely to never happen again. The WTA is a morass of mediocrity.
I love how she is just basking the atmosphere of the crowd, so genuine. I wonder who the crowd will support in the finals between the two teens.
Congratulations Emma👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Very strong and clever answers, especially the last one!
Lovely interview to hear her speak about how she is feeling, excluding some of the pushy interview questions which she handled great. I have an issue with why this interview is now after she has been playing, clearly looks like she needs a rest give her a break!!
🌹 She’s fabulous,everything about her Congrats Emma 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 You’ve done us all proud
I knew she was something special when I watched her at Wimbledon. She's a star 🌟 🎾
We miss Jim Courier...please bring him back for on court interviews. He is the best in the business.
This Saturday could witness the birth of a new stellar rivalry between these two new stars of world tennis.
Amazing and Iconic...
Not because i'm a romanian and Emma she's half romanian, but she's LOVELY!!! She deserve the title!!!
It’s ok. You should feel if you share her ancestry.
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292 well, there's a litlle bit of... but she really is LOVELY !!!
@@ilusion69 if she's the end result,then I'll definitely marry a Romanian!🤣
@@eyeofthetiger6002 the beauty of Eastern European women is tough to match!
This could be the beginning of a long and fabulous friendly rivalry between two great young players ...
love it!!! so much fun to watch
This gonna be amazing final
She is going to win. Mark my words!!
watching both the semi final matches.. I predict emma would emerge as a winner..
She is just incredible 😍..!! Wish her a fantastic future ahead 🎉🎉
Congratulations England 🏴 from your neighbours Ireland 🇮🇪
What a story. What a tournament. What great women tennis history. What a final.
Wow wow - if thats not going to be the most anticipated final in history I don’t know what is/was
jim courier: takes the opportunity to ask poignant, interesting, thoughtful questions to someone who just won a match every one of these interviewers: can you describe to us what you were FEELING?? what about how you FELT?? hey here's this other player you haven't thought much of.... can i try to force you to say something disingenuously nice??
Unfortunately, that seems to be a stock question, along with my absolute worse one ' What does this mean to you?'. ARGH!
Henman hill getting a bit emotional there... ,But he deserves the credit..he is a real British gentleman. And Emma wow..Talent and Beauty in one package !. Keep doing what your doing , and fingers crossed not become another Eugenie Bouchard.
Absolutely Marvellous and Emma doesn't squeal and grunt everytime she strikes the ball.
She talks, handles herself and looks like an absolute Super Model.💖🌟🏆🇬🇧
Emma you are always radiant and smiling before, during and after your matches. You must really be a very beautiful person to know ... We see that you are having fun and seeing you play, you give us immense pleasure in this world of violence ... Thanks to you !
Amazing journey
We're going to have two teens in the finals, what a battle of champions.
Well done Emma, 👏 Felicitari !!
Here's the problem now ...Who do we cheer for in the final?? Both players deserve to be winners don't they .....
Ball don’t lied. Let us wait patiently and watch the game. At the end we will know.
Let's cheer for Emma, because she is younger!! That's all I've got...
@@TheNdila Leylah for the win and she just older by a month😀
I suggest cheering for both and enjoying the tennis from both players.
They should call it a draw and share the championship 😁
I predicted this Dream Finals last week. Battle of the Half Asian Canadian Born Female Teenagers. Both have GAME, grit, swagger, charisma, rock hard Determination and a winning smile. I'm an Australian who is suffering from the severe Covid LOCKDOWN Blues here in Melbourne, so Emma & Leylah has really lifted up my spirit this week! But only one can win, who's is it gonna be? ( I think the real winners here are the Tennis Lovin Fans! )
I hope the lockdown and blues lift soon
@@Charlie_Ses Melb has endured more Covid lockdown than any other place on earth. We're not getting released until 80% of our population is vaccinated. Then I'll move to Wuhan.
Let the best teenager player wins! cheers to these two! Win or lose you inspired your generation in the world of tennis! 🇨🇦🇬🇧
Fantastic bit of history taking place in front of us. Beautiful! Wonderful!
A great player is made❤️
