A ten wins streak without dropping a set is unprecedented and makes the stars of heaven stare down at Emma with envy .
Raducanu seems very mentally resilient. She doesn’t seem to hold on to errors but just moves on. She a lot of fun to watch play.

The only other time I remember being this blown away is during Roger's 2004 Wimbledon title run. Back then, it was evident that there was absolutely no one in his class and that he was chasing perfection in his game. Though he won no.3 then, I saw 16 at least. Emma's dominant performance through the US open is filling me with the same kind of excitement and I'm only hoping that she stays determined in chasing big dreams, cause she certainly has the game that can win them all.
Exactly the female version of Roger Federer..the complete player with potential..graceful, fast mover and all round game..
Yes. She's been remarkable. Does an ITF mid-June and gets to the QF Gets a wild card to Wimbledon in early July, her 1st major, getting to the 4th round Does some lower level tournaments in August, getting to a QF and a final Enters the USO in early September as a qualifier, her 2nd Major, and wins it. Her only hope in doing all these tournaments was to get a qualifier slot at the Australian Open. Now she will be seeded. And extraordinary 3 months for her.
@@christopherwheatley9858 Including off-court, just like Fed
She has that Porsche-like quality that Federer has, sleek and purring and controlled, producing phenomenal shots. It remains to be seen of course whether she can achieve his incredible consistency at the highest level, but it's going to be great to watch.
@@DShane99 indian wells performance wasnt very roger-esque
Come on US Open, put all of Raducanu's full matches online... There's a huge demand for it.
Give us all of Emma’s games!!!! love her! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes!!
Yes
Yes, more matches of Emma in US Open please
Yes please we are waiting for Emma’s other full matches, particularly vs Brenda Bencic.
@@ahmedhamzagamous5609 Belinda not Brenda.
Seems like Raducanu only lifts her game when she needs to. I’m convinced if Sakkari played better, Emma would’ve raised her level accordingly.
I was thinking the same thing, I've been watching all her matches and every time her opponents increased the pressure on her, she would just go through a level up and pressure her opponents even more. She seems to increase her intensity instead of getting fatigued as the match goes on.
@@Spunky786 Well, she never got pushed to a 3rd set but she’s super fit and fast - her legs remind me a lot of Graf.
Yeah, she did the same thing in the final, midway through the second set. Just suddenly took two service games away from Fernandez and never looked back.
@@boke75 True, but my thoughts were mainly based on her condition compared to her opponents during later games of the 2nd set, not just the US Open but other matches I've seen online. But yeah will still don't know what will happen in the 3rd set.
@@boke75 Yeah still hasn't done a 3 setter in a major yet! She did a few in the minor tournaments she did this year, winning 2 losing 1.
Emma is probably the cutest WTA player in history❤❤❤
Especially when she lets out a scream! ❤️
She moves like A lvanovic specially when serving . The two of them have the cutest smiles.
La Sabatini mantiene el titulo aún...
is
Daniela Hantuchova hold that title though.
It's funny to watch that match now and listen to the commentators who spent the whole match to underrate Emma. And hoped that Sakkari would come back.
You're lying
Mary Carillo is an American sportscaster, aka sir-e-no cheerleader, so bias, I mute her most of the time
It's weird how calm I was watching this live. It didn't matter if Emma won it or not -- she'd already achieved something special -- and then it so quickly became clear that she was going to win anyway! Maria Sakkari did amazingly well to fight hard in the second set, but one Emma settled from those first few points it was only going to go one way. Just a supremely dominant display. It was crazy.
That last game, knowing what was at stake, her first ever GS final in her 2nd GS, and she played it like it was the first game of the match. No nerves; just so calm, point by point, and clinical. Match point, serve wide, return deep, volley the winner.
I agree really. Personally it was also Raducanu's front foot positive style that made me calm
Finally coming soon! Thank you very much. Looking forward to watch all full matches of Emma in US Open
Thank you, US Open! You're tennis fans friendly.
Imagine ... Raducanu was born in Toronto around the same time that Fernandez was born in Toronto . The two of them , one ranked 174 and the other totally unranked would play against eachother as young teenagers in this championship final after beating all of the other top ranked players in the tournament ! Raducanu plays for Britain where she now lives .
Emma is simply incomparable. I hope she will always be like this.👌🥰
Your a fool... But I'm sure a nice one... Eternal Optimism is an expensive elixir.
Unfortunately, no. She became a supergirl in this tournament and overwhelmed everyone, I'm sure she will return to champion status one day.
That powerhouse double backhand and crisp forehand of Raducanu…..wow…..💪💪
Kindly Upload full match between Emma and Belinda.. Raducanu run in this tour was awesome...very different from Indian Wells.. we still love you Emma💕💕
Thank you uploading the full match!! Please could you upload all the matches as watching Emma play is a joy which we all need right now!!
Finally, it's coming. Thanks for upload. Hope to watch more from the qualify round. US Open team, could you pls increase commentator sound a bit.
yes, qualify match too, please upload
NO! Reduce the commentators sound! So much drivel! No wild card for Wimbledon, anxiety attack, Sal-is-berry, I could go on.
wow, that return from Emma at 19:30 was incredible
It was. The crowd was in awe of it too, and then followed by the deep backhand. Brilliant
yeah and she does it again at 1:09:10...while she may currently be flopping, watching all these matches back i see that her winning the US Open was no fluke, she was the least-ranked person there and she dominated EVERYBODY so at least she has that to hold on to...hope she finds a way to get back to that level tho, really don't want her to have peaked already, genuine potential to be GB's female Andy Murray
There's another one at 48:02
cant wait to watch it again n again, I am obsessed with Emma, thank you for upload
At 19:30 unbelievable how Emma returned that serve!
Yes and the way she changed her direction after that momentum was so smooth it was impressive to watch.
Sakkari was actually playing very well just that Emma was coming up with the goods..better and smarter player.
Very well? Are we watching the same match. Lol she almost got bageled in the first set from all those errors. Emma played amazing but Sakkari wasn't on top of her game at all and you could see it in her frustration.
before this game so many people were saying that emma would lose because of sakkaris serve..and wow did emma prove them wrong
Imagine if they had released this whole semi-final, while still only having the 6-minute final video, and THEN giving us the full final!
Time 107:20 I luv the way Emma out of character yelled out for winning the game then looked right down at sakkari as if to say all your screaming won't bother me. Haha.
Sakkari’s muscles mean nothing to Emma
Gracias por subir este partido completo. ii no longer remembered how well he played, let's hope he doesn't end up in a one hit wonder.
At first I was annoyed by the audio imbalance. But then the commentators sounded like a bunch of Sakari's fan just chatting when it was obvious that their favourite is not winning the game. I would like some more impartial comments, not all about how Sakari can improve her game and making less error when it's obvious that Emma is a far superior player putting pressure on her opponent. Some of Emma's return of serves are outstanding. This match is better watched with audio off!
lol, just because people who have played and commentated on tennis for years see and point out the obvious and because it doesn't align with what you want to hear you are upset? xD
Agreed it was the most biased commentary I have ever heard. Not exaggerating
Totally agree, most times, errors were made because the player was under pressure and was trying too hard to win points.
Then you should've watched prime instead, the commentary were biased toward Emma all the way from qualifying to final
@@marymars2842 that's what happens to LF.
The way she glides up from the backcourt to the forecourt with little to no footnoise reminds me so much of Henin.
her movement is that of a high class player so....im anxious to see A FULL SEASON of WTA. We CANT tell ANYTHING about the players without having an entire season played unhindered by covid rules ! We LOST our frame of refference...our MOST trusted frame of refference :(
i can stay stay ALL DAY here blabbing around about various WTA players WITHOUT guessing one :(
When you can barely hear the foot noise and nothing else before the thud of the ball being hit....that's tennis ! No banshee screams or loud pig snort grunts.
These poor women conquered by Emma have already lost in the fashion stakes, before they even begin.
at that kind of momentum, anyone on her path will be defeated
Sakkari's muscle VS Emma's brain
Can't wait 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Does this company employ a sound engineer? Do they have any idea how to balance the commentary levels with the sound from the court. Dreadful commentary again.
and the womans voice to the mans voice.
Definitely need to mute the crowd.
absolutely, made the same comment on the final
I had a lot of difficulty hearing the commentary over the other noise.
Same! I think the audio engineer needs to tweak this. I could barely hear what the commentators were saying.
They should have "Shot of the Tournament" like in snooker! Raducanus' double handed backhand straight back the line that totally wrong footed Sakkari was ammmazzzinng! So unexpected, no other player who made a great shot down the line would ever expect it to come straight back down the line to them! The small percentage of making that shot was ridiculous! I was only watching and it wrong footed my brain! Awesome😲.❤️🇬🇧👌
Brains and natural talent blowing away power n brawn! 😲🇬🇧❤️
You can see at 1:07:15 that Emma is part of the greatest champion, she has the mindset of a killer !!!
If someone created an app that mutes Mary Carillo, they would become a billionaire.
Both of them are Great though ❤️
A STAR IS BORN AGAIN
And just like that the star has faded
37:40 excellent punch volley!
THIS WAS FUN!
Amazing 😁
A NICE LANDING FOR SAkkari
Maria Sakari looks like a Vulcan. She looks like Saavik played by Robin Curtis in the movie STAR TREK III THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK
The force is strong in this one.
I love maria sakari. ❤
MORE FULL MATCHES CMON CHOP CHOP USO!!!
Worst defeat of Sakkari career, 5 break points, 2 second serves and she still couldn't break Emma! She will never get over this until she wins a Slam herself. At least she got beat by the Champion! But that cud hurt too, depends how u look at it. Sometimes in sport the stars align and there's nothing anyone can do.....Emma star just shined.🌟❤️🇬🇧
Sakkari’s worst and most painful defeat thus far was at the 2021 RG semis against Krejcikova. She was serving for the game and literally lost two games in a row and couldn’t close the match that would have brought her to the final against Pavlynchenkova who was a much easier opponent. So far this was her best chance at winning a slam. Apparently she couldn’t sleep for 3 nights after that loss.
Welcome back Emma keep focused for a great 2024 season of top quality tennis
This match was over by the end of game 4, first set. Any confidence Sakkari had died at the end of the 3rd and hope died at the end of the 4th. Oh she can say that she didn't play well etc but when your opponent stops you from being able to settle, to find your stride, to make your best shots, well you're never going to play well are you? Raducanu adapted her game to match the power of Sakkari and Sakkari had nothing else to offer. The right person won, any excuses from the other side is childish pique at being outplayed.
Knowing what I know now about Sakkari's game; had it been a closer contest in the first set, she would have likely caught up with Raducanu in the second, and outlasted her in the third. Just saw Sakkari play in the WTA finals vs Aryna Sabalenka (11/15/2021).
Coulda woulda shoulda....
Emma and leylah are the new generation of tennis players. Quiet relaxed efficient, no grunting, very ladylike.
Best comment!
Says the 🤡
Bravo Emma 👏🎾❤️
Sakkari pretty much blew up..
Emma is fierce and has a killer instinct. That's what separates a champion from mediocre
Lucky her racket didn't touch net on final point when she dropped racket, cud have given point to Sakkari! But of excited youthful inexperience there! 😲👏🙏❤️
107.16 was the highlights 👀💪
Didn't drop her serve once. Rare in the women's game.
Beauty and the
watch again
Emmaa♥️♥️♥️♥️
emma dan sakari adalah idolaku
congrats emma
19.30
Sakkari is a beast.
Emma ❤
Virginia Wade was first in "hug line" after Emma Won title! Must have been so great for Virginia to have another female US Open Grand Slam Champ from her own Country at last after 44 years! Especially as Virginia was first female US Open Champ in '68! Must have brought back so many memories, and it's great for a few years but ultimately no-one wants to be the only one...alone, it's great to be able to share the experience with someone else! Be in a club! Also let's not forget BBC commentator Sue Barker winning the French Open in '76! Now we just need ma to win Wimbledon! No pressure! 😳🤣👏🔥❤️🇬🇧🙌
28m 20s : Sorry, but if you lose the first set 0-6 (or even 1-6), how do you take some momentum into the second set?
Maybe because you have nothing to lose and the opponent has everything to lose, so you can just play freely without fear. I think the commentator was just trying to provide some hope tho
Clean slate. Nothing to lose, it’s a fresh match essentially
As Chanda Rubin explained, it is easier sometimes to get over a 6:0 or 6:1 set, and reset mentally, than a hard fought losing set.
In less than 3 years, Emma Răducanu will be World nr.1 or pensioner millionaire!♡♧☆ Go on Emma♡♧☆
Where are all the linesmen?
Sakkari is the new Sam Stosur.
Maria, was positively sure up and down she was going to win this game that’s why she got angry and make all the mistakes. She didn’t leave a room “ what about if “
Why are WTA matches of 2 sets but ATP of 3 sets? Can someone explain?
Only in grand slams. Every other tennis event on the ATP circuit is best out of 3. It’s only 8 weeks out of 52.
58:10 You should've gone for the tweener there, Emma. That would really have been the icing on the cake!
That would've been ultra difficult just about impossible seeing that she was sprinting and barely got to the ball at all.
she said she's bad at hot dog/tweener
Raducanu is simply stunning. Perfect face and legs. By far the most beautiful woman in tennis. And she plays pretty well, too.
What a circus at 22:30! Sakkari knew perfectly well the ball was in or she would have called a challenge, which she did not.
Whether she called a challenge or not wouldn't have made a difference because the calls are made by Hawkeye. If it's in, it's in. The only thing they can show her is a video review of where the ball landed, the call wouldn't have changed.
I like Maria Sskkari
Prettiest British female tennis player ever tbh.
Fax
imo she's prettier than the British male tennis players too
Prettier than both "princes", especially the one from USA.
Yip, many Asian girls are stunning.
Cz she's not British originally. Her mum from China and father from Romania.
In her entire life Emma has never played an opponent in the top 10 and has only ever played two opponents in the top 40. Yet she has just moved up into the top 20 and in so doing has nudged ahead of Coco Gauff to become the highest ranked teenager! (She is at 20 in the live WTA ranking, 3 points ahead of Coco.)
She been on tour for 3 months and she’s a champion. It’s not her fault those players lost before she could play them. You sound like a hater 🥴😵💫
And sakkari is now top 8 in the world by the way. Bencic is top 10 lol
@@wenotdabank_2835 You sound like someone who has difficulty reading a couple of sentences.
I have no idea how come Emma Can't win another Title by now. I'm only hoping to see she's going to win something else beside the 2021 US Open's title.
Total babe. That smile...oof... 6-0 6-0 for that smile
Wonderful tennis talent ❤. Mind you, Emma Răducanu had some surgery at her feet...spidy recovery I wish you ,Emma (copilă dulce)
how funny that LF is always mentioned on all emma's game by the commentators...
Cantik Sekali si EMMA ini Sialan ❤
Can they outlaw the Grunting?
Like planet fitnesses lunk alert
Emma is so lovely
Can you upload Sakkari’s match with bianca andrescu please
Cool. Okay
goes to show testosterone is no match to finesse, speed, and talent.
I really love the McDonalds-Cheerleader outfit of Raducanu! so cool 8) RAAH RAAH RAAH, HEEET HEEEH EAAT I'm lovin it!
where'd all the time go
Saccari’s skirt started bothering her when she was 0-3
You mean her briefs. 😁
Emma's got class. Sakkari hasn't.
Fun.
I played tennis for a year at El Segundo Rec, 1964. I can say, with great authority, that tennis is not the funnest game face in sports. Why...so...serious?
Mary Carillo banana daquri =manly voice
How ya doin
