The tournament takes place for the 141st time and is the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year. Dominic Thiem is the men’s singles defending champion but has withdrawn following an injury. Naomi Osaka is the women’s singles defending champion and will be aiming to claim the title for the third time in four years. Meanwhile, No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic looks to complete the calendar Grand Slam after winning the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon already this year. Should the Serbian lift the title here for the fifth time, he will also overtake Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to become the first-ever man to win 21 Grand Slam singles titles.

Her tennis and her personality are spectacular.
Ask her out and see what her personality is like?? You will see how she really is
Don't worry, fame changes that
@@tabularasa9576 do u by chance know her?
Agree
@@tabularasa9576 bad trolling bruh
Such poise and maturity for her age. And an adorable, killer smile which just lights you up.
She’s here because of her own willpower and self belief. Refreshing, modest and so humble. Enjoy every minute Emma. Hard work pays off, well deserved!
So great to see her confidence both on and off the court and not making an unnecessary drama about press conferences like Osaka has. Go Raducanu!
Hard work has paid off for HER, but do you think she's the only one who's worked hard? There are probably thousands of ladies who've worked just as hard, if not harder, and didn't even make it as a professional.
@@TheGuitarlad84 While I listened to Emma during this press conference my first thought was - Osaka wouldn't need therapy if she listened to and took to heart what Emma says.
@@futurez12 Have you considered that 'hard work' does not only consist of physical training but also of a rigorous discipline of the mind? She shines because of this.... which of those 'thousands of ladies who've worked just as hard, if not harder' can claim to be mentally as strong?
@@ricklee5431 Absolute BS. Phil Taylor (a legend darts player) completely dominated the darting world for almost 2 decades. For years, people said it was because he was mentally tougher than the rest, then the rest started putting in the same practice hours as him (it wasn't a thing until people caught on to what he was doing), fast forward 5-10 years and they caught him up and surpassed him, to the point where he couldn't even buy a win. Put ability up against "mental strength" and the most able will win almost every single time. I suppose you believe that Federer, and Djokovic dominate/dominated because of their "mental strength"? You only need to use your eyes to see that they have the most playing ability. It's so clear to see. This is true for all of the 'greatest,' they're all just better than the rest, which is probably 99% down to a mixture of talent and the best kind of deliberate practice hours. Do you think Federer is mentally tougher than someone like Ivan Lendl? who was known for his so-called mental toughness... Federer would smash him all over the court because he's a better player. You might say it's a different era, but if mental strength was important then it wouldn't matter what era a player was from. No amount of "mental strength" can overcome a big deficit in pure ability. Sure, you can catch someone on an off day and say that their opponent "beat them mentally" but that's more BS, it was just an off day, even the greatest have them. And BTW, if you made it as a professional tennis player, you have "mental strength" in abundance, no matter what your ranking.
It's incredible that she hasn't dropped a set through qualifying and the main draw. Legend
Go bills!
Dont get to happy remeber benic hadn't dropped a set either til yesterday that was incrediable to. But it happen
@@janetwatkins4981 strange answer. Benic is the Olympic Champion - not expected to drop sets until meeting a top seed. Now dropped two. Qualifier ---- for goodness sakes, not had any difficulty so far?? That is some level of "unreal". Surely one would have expected the Olympic Gold medallist to have taken one or two sets off ER.
@@janetwatkins4981 thats why what emmas doing is even more remarkable
@@Alan-dn3tj well im hoping sakkari win also but I dont think its gonna be 2 sets I thing its gonna be 3 only thing im worried about is Maria serve been effigy hopefully it will be back on n consistent
This young lady has so much class! A superstar in the making for sure.
She's just utterly enchanting. A dream for the sport of tennis.
She's so happy to be there, no crying. she's a ray of sunshine, go Emma.
Indeed…
The anti-Osaka 😉
why would she cry she just won!!!😀
Osaka could learn a lot from this young lady.
@@abb7118 Anyone can learn from anyone else but this should not be used to justify criticising Osaka. As the old saying goes, walk a mile in her shoes. None of us has any idea how we would deal with such pressure. Osaka's only job is to look after herself. If that means not doing press conferences then that should be her choice. These events are not done for the benefit of the athletes. They are done for the benefit of the tournament and the advertisers and should not be compulsory.
I was worried when Federer , Nadal on the verge of retiring , that I may lost a bit of interest in tennis . The charisma and talents of those two are irreplaceable. But , gosh , now I am not worried , we have Emma Radicanu . A new star is born .
mens tennis is almost totally different sport though but i get your point. mens tennis best of 5 sets and have to be prepared to play for over 5 hours.
Emma, stay humble and take the trophy home with you. Whatever you do, do not let all this go to your head and change your kind and humble demeanor.
I think she’s always gonna stay humble she’s just a very nice person
like Naomi Osaka
@@chibifirestorm I hope she is nothing like Osaka.
@2dowde i should have said Muguruza, bad example
Millionaire at 18 unreal she will be a global star
So mature... but that last comment and eye roll about not calling her parents reminds us she's still a kid... adorable! She's got it all, the game, the mental stability and stunningly gorgeous. Would love to see Raducanu v. Fernandez US Open final this year... Novak who? LOL
What eye roll? She was looking round to see were the question was coming from.
It was definitely adorable, the "eye roll", haha.
@@jeffreybotley-ball5185 No.. 12:11
Novak who indeed 😁
@@jeffreybotley-ball5185 Since you didn't see the 'eye roll' I'd suggest you go and have your eyes checked by a professional.
"...to compare yourself and your results against anyone is probably the thief of happiness..." - how profound is that?! Emma seems to be sincerely happy with her team, you get the impression that they're not putting any pressure on her, which would contribute to her overall calm and relaxed attitude. She is not only a gem for the British, but for the whole tennis world. Go Emma, don't get injured and stay away from Social Media! 👏
....and now the prospects are endless...:)
“Comparison is the thief of joy" is a Roosevelt quote don't think she came up with it
This girl and Leylah Fernandez - for some reason I root for them in every game. I'm happy for their success. Great players and charming personalities.
She is soooooo adorable.. brains, beauty and great sportsmanship....... A- level in MATH AND ECONOMICS.... 👍🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸♥️🇬🇧.. HOPE YOU WIN ...
She's clearly going to be a massive star. And she looks like she has the upbringing, values and temperament not to be destroyed by it.
That's very British.
@@chuckfriebe843 What do you mean by that?
'Destroy' was exactly the word Belinda said in her press conference just today. Then she corrected herself but we all know it's the most suitable word for what Naomi Osaka is going through right now. I really hope they don't do the same to Leylah or Emma. Naomi Osaka is just as smart as Emma and still the hype got the best of her.
@@ricklee5431 The English have a very even temperament in general are rattled less by a the drama. What does the Pink Floyd song say? "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way".
@@marianagaoka9687 she's one of the kids that got a trophy for participating. She has some growing up to do.
These young adults are more level headed than many of the adults
She’s very beautiful, modest, kind, focused, mature and hard working player. All the best and I hope to see the two teens in finale.
You living there? How is it?😬🙄
I love how humble she is and has stayed despite being on the spotlight for the past days
The UK is so incredibly proud of you Emma, wheather you win or lose the semi final your gonna be a superstar ❤️
Proud? Would her father be able to emigrate to the UK now in 2021? Romanian….NO!
@@gdwlaw5549 well he would though?
@@gdwlaw5549 Yes he would.
Yes he would
@@gdwlaw5549 I'm sorry, what point are you trying to make? Is it such a crime to support people who call the UK home
I really hope both Emma and Leylah make it to the final, they're the future of womans tennis and so much fun to watch play.
What wonderful sincere innocence coupled with immense talent and a level head. A star is born!
Can't believe she's the same age as my lad. As proud as I am of him, it's a challenge to get a grunt out of him on his occasional forages from his xbox to the fridge.
Your comment made me smile, thanks!
Haha, you are not alone David!
😂😂
These people are incredible rare... don't compare your kids with her. That is just unfair.
😂🤣
I like her point about sliding. It shows how she's really stepped up in the last two weeks. Doing things she didn't know she could.
Pretty outrageous she has got through to a USO SF, without dropping a set, whilst learning things like that. What an incredible tournament for Raducanu.
Both of them, Emma and Leyla, are so lovely. I was not partisan last night. I support both of them.
I hope she stay humble .. Asian Romanian roots like Leylah Asian Ecuatorian roots.. Bravo..
Both born in Canada
Leylah plays for Canada and Emma plays for England. That's 😎😎
Where are the white Asians?
@@paulhollis8879 Rybakina
The stoy is her parents where in Canada, and she was born, but the Canadians did not want her parents to stay and would not keep them so they left
Emma’s solid defensive skills while on the run helped her turn many of these points round, and her down-line shotmaking off both wings was a huge asset in attacking and closing. Shout out to her coach too, Andrew Richardson. He’s a lovely guy and great coach!
Agree but I think her secret weapon is the serve, find a female tennis player with a decent serve and u halfway there...that's also Serena's best shot and she made millions off it...
Andrew Richardson, thanks for the info. I guess he is a great coach, no one has ever gone through qualies to the final. They are doing so well together, nice to hear you think highly of him as a person. I suspect you are in the business from the nature of your comment. I see Leyla taking the ball early. I'm also seeing Emma take the ball early but I think she goes to the net a little more. In my view that favors Emma. I think your perspective is valid, I liked your analysis. You may see things differently but from here, my money is on Emma.
@@slingshotchicken4695 to be honest, I haven't watched any of Leylah so couldn't predict the final, but I at least know we're witnessing something special in Emma. I'm a big Federer fan, but the completeness of her game reminds me of Djokovic's complete game. The super secure strokes, great movement, and ability to attack on both sides surely wears down the opponents mentally, even to the point of making them overplay. I remember a player saying Djokovic made the court seem so small, and I suspect that's what Emma's opponents might be thinking. Yeh, I'm a coach myself and had a couple of great private lessons from Andrew many years ago. He was a solid volleyer in his own day and perhaps this will help give Emma the edge if there are battles of early ball-striking
@@slingshotchicken4695 curious about your analysis of the match?
@@EmperorsNewWardrobe Hi, I wasn't able to view it except for KZhead highlights. In the highlights I noticed Emma was returning very well, that looked like a factor. I would have to see the entire match to give a fair analysis. You saw it and, in return, I am curious about your thoughts? You weren't kidding about down-the-line shots, they both hit their share in the highlights. I really like both of them and I hope they continue to do well. I have noticed for a while now the depth in women's tennis, we may get a new champion every tournament. Next week Sabylenka?
She had me after round 2 at Wimbledon and then doing her first breakfast TV interview flawlessly in an England footy shirt (during the Euros). Throws in absolute headline making cuteness for these Rabid journos re “I had flights home 2 wks ago”. She’s an absolute rockstar and we should all take care of her and just be glad she’s here. But take care of her. 🇬🇧
What a great personality Emma Raducanu has. Such a level headed young person.
These two teenagers have made this us open one of the most delightful tournaments to watch for me. Love them and wish them all the successes on and off court!
imagine being this talented, intelligent well spoken and drop dead gorgeous ... imagine being perfect basically !! We love you Emma
Emma is a phenomenal player, with a beautiful mind, very humble, and behaving like a seasoned professional.
Please understand that I’m not taking issue with your comment. Speaking of seasoned professional, could you ever see Emma getting defaulted from a Grand Slam tournament for threatening a linesperson or slamming a ball into a linesperson’s throat?
She is not an Osaka, her personality is the polar opposite to Naomi and her temperament will allow her to learn from any future loss. The smile alone is worth any victory, no doubt this girl will be on the circuit for many years to come.
@@bobbybaucom9440 No
@@bobbybaucom9440 NO because she got the proper education from both her parents, who don't even show off at the match, they prepared her how to talk to the press, how to focus on her points and how to respond to the entire audience in the biggest stadium in the world...She displays more maturity than Donald Trump and his entire hillbilly family...that is what I meant. In addition i believe that even if she lost a match she will accept loss with dignity and will focus oon her next performance.
Very proud of this British teenager! 🇬🇧🇬🇧.
There’s nothing British , only the accent , she’s a totally beautiful Romanian teenager 🙂
@@letshavealook8053 Toronto Canada by birth?
What an absolute sweetheart.
It’s incredible what you’ve achieved dear..your composure and humility deserves an applause...the inspiration to emulate for the tennis generation to come
Such a well spoken, well mannered young lady you are. My 9 years old daughter is a biggest fan of your’s, you are amazing on and off the pitch, makes you a great role model for many of the youngster like my daughter in UK and around the globe. Kudos to your parents for bringing you up so well, I simply hope and pray, you will have all the Success in your life. Let the fairytale continue….
Brilliant Emma, what a star. Well done on your achievement, anything else is a bonus!
Bonus landed Steve :)
Emma along with Leyla and Coco are so hopeful for the future of the women's game. Belief is everything.
Coco who?
@@quiquiqui i think Coco Gauf
Coco is the byproduct of MSM hype machine.
She couldn't even beat Sloane Stephens, and Stephens is like the biggest hot and cold player out there.
Emma is diff from the two, Emma go to regular school, and attended A level exam. the two are just tennis machine produced by professional tennis school ,
Go Emma. Make us proud and win the US open
It's amazing how poised she is, both on and off the court. During the interviews she responds is such a calm manner, never making any "off the cuff" comments she has to take back or clarify later. It's as if she's trained her entire life for this moment. Impressive. A comment below said that Emma is more mature at 18 than she, and she's 25. Emma's more mature than I am and I'm very old. She should be my role model.
Underpinning her beauty and star quality, is a steely determination to win. A remarkable young sportswoman and role model for girls everywhere.
So her determination to win supports her beauty? You do know she's a tennis player, right? Does Nadal's determination to win support his beauty too?
@@simonharwood8488 Wrong use of the verb "to underpin". I simply meant as well as being beautiful she has a steely determination to win - an essential requisite (determination not beauty obviously!) for a successful tennis player.
@@simonharwood8488 Just complimenting women isn't sexist, we like it. Wokeism gone too far = ) People compliment male tennis players as well. Raducanu is obviously very beautiful.
@@thegalhorowitz it is not woke-ism though.
@@SM-ce1uy I think it was a kind , beautiful comment and no need to dissect it and twist to find a bad intention under it... I dont know but this type of attention is clouding peoples thoughts about actual sexist behaviour =) I get tired reading comments on these harmless wordplay.
Paraphrasing: "If I take care of what I can take control of then that's gonna give me the best chance." 2:50
I honestly would not be surprised if we are not looking at the next US Open champion. Gifted player. At Wimbledon, it felt like we were looking at a player who was going to probably get to the semis, or even win the tournament... overwhelmed by the moment. She took a slating from McEnroe as well, I bet he is eating his words right now. Now we're looking at a player who seems to have gotten stronger from the experience and the natural born, gifted talent is overpowering everything, and all those before her. Its inspiring.
Beating Belinda (and her previous opponents) at all, let alone so easily is a remarkable achievement for Emma and her new team. Don’t stop now! 🙌🙌💪🇬🇧🎾🐬
Raducanu vs Layla Final 😍😍
YES PLEASE!!!
That would be EPIC!!!
Imagine that
I'm Canadian (even though Emma was born in Toronto). It would be hard not to root for Emma if this were to happen.
It could happen!
She's getting more beautiful by the day ❤️
Wonderful, congratulations Emma !!
EMMA! RADU CAN U YES U CAN ALL THE WAY What a phenomenal performance! You have made my day
Most pro tennis player don't even reach a Grand Slam Semifinal in their whole career. The fact that Emma was able to achieve this feat at the age of 18 is remarkable!
Emma and barty give me confidence that the tour has a bright future in terms of professionalism and attitude. Im sure there are others coming through as well which brings me joy and kudos to the role models in their lives that have taught them well. They are exemplary.
Really impressive in and out courts! My best wishes and mental support for a very shine carreer! Congratulations "little Emma"!!
On her 18 times around the sun, she met the Olympic champ at Arthur Ashe Stadium to test her strength against the best. She made history! Or, rather history affirmed her dream for she is just awesome! Go Emma! Win it all!
Amazing composure in interview. What a star and a lovely person.
The meltdown is distant memory, I see a confident young woman here. The learning curve has happened at lightspeed. What a star!
Articulate and Adorable! Can’t wait to see her journey…only just begun! ❤️ 🇬🇧 🇷🇴 🇨🇳🇨🇦❤️
Emma Raducanu vs Naomi Osaka. That would be an interesting tennis to watch.
love tennis players with beautiful personality. they are just joy to watch and easy to love. she is one of those.

Sheer class and so humble. She didn’t even mention that she beat Fernandez at Wimbledon as well.
Her personality is also as strong as her defending..... Solid!!!! Well done Emma. Enjoy your moments. Wish you great success.
She is so smart and charming. I really really like her. Her smile makes me smile. Love you Emma 💞
She is so adorablle on and off the court, great athlete and personality.

Very humble but composed!
Brilliant! Grounded, alrounded young talented young lady! Go Emma!!
I think her parents playing a very important role, they are not going crazy about her, probably they on purpose don't answer her or call her too much so she stays grounded and doesn't become a diva. Smart parents in my opinion.
BRAVO to a young rising star the sky is the limit for this very talented and down to earth woman.
Shes so pretty such a great player

Calmness and humbleness are the best ingredients for any success. Keep your head high and focus till the end.
she speaks so clearly its hard to imagine shes only 18. Very mature woman congrats Emma

What a lovely, classy act!
This woman's face is hypnotizing. She hes the highest cheekbones on the planet. Emma will make more more selling jewellery, shoes, and cars than she earns in prize money. A few WTA players have done this, for example, Sharapova. Nike should let her design a shoe, the "RADU".
