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.

A lovely moment when they smiled at each other about their future final battles !!
Maybe their future final battles will be like MS and SW
Well said that man 👍
@@jacquelineotto4148 There’s always one.. 🥱🤦🏼♂️
That they are both so young I'm sure this tournament will give these two a special bond for the rest of their careers when ever they meet again.
@@crazycatpetera1404 i meam come on, this match has got to be the best possible start to a rivalry
I have not seen an 18 yr old so articulate in her speech, hitting the right chords, the right names with so much composure, grace; simply unbelievable. Top of the Class. My best wishes for a glorious career.
Absolutely flawless isn't she? In every way. Remarkable.
She has excellent genes and education from her parents.
@@GreenerPlanetE Excellent genes and parenting from her parents, Britain gets the credit for her education.
Jesus, she's super professional. Beyond her sporting achievement, it's unbelievable to see such composure in such a young person. Her answers to the questions almost sound like exam answers, ticking all the boxes, reminding the examiner that you've understood the question and are answering it directly and without getting off topic. She's laser-focused.
And in a totally charming, unforced way.
The questioner was so flat and crass but Emma made up for it by talking through her answers with aplomb. Not even exhausted after the mental effort of the match
Still can't believe what she has done. Its like watching a favourite movie time and time again!
She only finished her a-levels before Wimbledon and was a straight A student in one of the top schools in the UK. Makes sense.
Shows a maturity beyond her years both on the court and the way she conducts herself in interviews. Absolute superstar !
Emma is never short in praising her worthy opponent, what an amazing sporting behaviour.👍👍
Unlike Leilah, who gave a backhand praise to Emma. She cam across as a bitter loser.
exactly emma mentioned her and congratulated her and her team in 2 to 3 phrases while leyla just said her 1 phrase.. what a bitter...
@@charlycoldstone266 she definitely is.
Can you beat that??? The host asks you, a qualifier (all 18 years of you) on how you u came to this moment (without dropping a set), the Champion of US Open 2021. And your first word is...praises about your opponent, without missing a beat. Who taught you, what taught you...what class!!! What a gem, Emma!! Go on conquering..!!
Absolutely, she is utterly incredible, isn't she?
Her parents and Britain taught her. Gracious in defeat, more gracious in victory!
The last reply is pretty hilarious. Her parents taught her yes but not Britain. When has Britain been gracious in defeat or gracious in victory? During the Euro 2020 tournament the England fans were chanting "Its coming home" and after the final started rioting. There is no such arrogance in Emma.
@@ekojay8279 There was widespread disgust and condemnation in Britain to the shameful reaction by some fans to the loss. Those racists wankers do not represent Britain. The chanting of "it's coming home" has been a England chant since 1996. It's not a chant of arrogance, but one of hope, because England was hosting the UEFA European Championship in 1996. The single Three Lions reached number 1 in the UK charts.
Her parents taught her well.
Articulate, humble and talented - she is a commendable result of her parents and she makes Britain proud.🇬🇧🎾
Agree 1000℅. High class for young women
dont forget that little ''devil'' called Canada :) The BIGGEST democracy laboratory in the WORLD
She’s actually Canadian 🇨🇦 she just lives in England now! 😍
@@-C.S.R She's been in Britain since she was two years old. She's definitely a product of British culture, education and sports training. She's great!
@Englishman 🏴 Exactly. If she felt Canadian she'd be presenting err, Canada. She sounds more English than me and I was born and bred in London.☺
That is how to conduct yourself, in a tournament appreciative of your opponent humble modest and positive. An absolute joy the UK is proud❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️
@@kralimarko1504 She is British 🇬🇧
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@O. Enders Yeah, but she counts herself as British - I mean, Boris Johnson was born in NYC, and he is the British Prime Minister, while Bradley Wiggins was born in Ghent. Just saying....
So interesting how the UK is quick to celebrate her success when the government and its supporters continually bash immigrants. Nice to see she holds her heritage, culture and language close to her heart. Her Mandarin is excellent. Nationalities can change but her blood won't ever. You can see how she wears a mix of China and Romania's flag colours on her uniform.
@@silveriver9 We are not all bigots here in the UK
Both of them seem grounded and charming talking to the world's press and a full stadium. They are teenagers!
@@catherinearcher1106 covid
Awesome teens- the both of them. I know I couldn't have handled the pressure at that age. I'd have been scared like NO.
Absolutely. Like it's the most natural thing in the world. Well done to both ladies.
Except, Tennis is bigger in Britain and Emma has had more exposure tks to Wimby.
Them both makes us very proud to be foreign immigrants to England. My wife in French and I am Chilean. My eldest son was born in Chile, my middle daughter was born in France and my youngest son was born in England. Our 3 children are trilingual (French, English, Spanish.). My youngest son married a beautiful and intelligent young Chinese professional.
What a graceful player. She gave Leylah the credit when it’s due. This is only gonna be great for women’s tennis, she got it absolutely right about the depth in women’s tennis today, every player has a shot at the grand slam and it’s gonna get really competitive and that’s only gonna be great for the fans.
I sure hope she can stay healthy and that she keeps her head on straight. I hope to see more matches of her in the future
she got the right attitude. its bec of her mother her mom always pushing her to be her best and having a mom like that u wont think u are the best but always needs to improve.. it didnt get into her head that she is in the finals she played her game.. she isnt too emotional...
After many decades WTA finally outshines Atp.
@@sumanchowdhury6162 wta was far better than atp since serena started her rampage since 2012. Serena had the most match views and the most followers. She gave wta the life it needed. The stats speak for themselves.
@@Empy003 It’s going to change soon ‘coz of these new generations coming in!
How can I teach my kids to have a such speech, calm, on point. Go Emma, rock the world.
Isn’t it great to see humble winners who speak so graciously of their opponents and their support network; with Barty, Leylah and Emma it’s so fantastic to see; well done Emma on your win.
Emma handles the questions beyond her age. She has that talent and mental toughness to bring her many more grand slams titles down the road. What an inspiring young lady!
Totally agree with you
She responds like someone in their 30s. Very mature mentally for her age.
@Max E I was just thinking this! Osaka is disastrous in her interviews and talks!
@Max E agree. May be it's sunset sooner for drama queen Naomi Osaka. We welcome new era.
I love these two girls. I can hardly wait for Australia 2022.
I haven’t smiled this much in ages watching Tennis. Congrats Emma!
Go simping!
Yeah! No drama. Just plain tennis.
@@souryabanik wallahi imma throw up
I’m just glad Serena is a non-factor in tennis ... we got new stars
Yes, it's been more than 20 years for me, still, I won't watch men's tennis ...waiting ....
I am a Filipino but my heart is with Emma Raducanu. She is gracious, elegant, kind and so mature for a young woman. She's got a great head on her shoulders, pun absolutely intended. I also love her playstyle - perfect balance of controlled aggression, smart shot selection and airtight defensive skills. I think this is the first of many grand slams for her. Tennis fans couldn't have asked for a better ambassador of the sport and she couldn't have come at a better time than now. I am a fan!
I am a Filipino too and like Emma better than Leylah.Her humility is just amazing.
She's incredible! Only 18 years old and already a great tennis player. What's really striking though is her confidence and composure for someone of her age. The way she addresses the crowd you'd think she'd been winning majors for years. She's quite a looker too
Everything in spades, beyond her years. Incredible player. Can’t wait to see her career progress. Her tennis is so powerful.
Emmazing player indeed
We’re really seeing the beginning here as well as she’s only started at WTA level in June. We’re gonna get to see her go to all these tournaments for the first time. Has anyone won a slam this quickly before?
"...beyond her years....". no kidding
ikr, I have seen her backhand . Its so flat and powerful. Amazing tech.
245lb diamond. She could probably afford it.
You can see the disappointment in Leylah's face as Emma is interviewed, holds up the trophy while steamers explode down around both of them. It has to be a difficult moment for her or any runner up on a big stage like this. Leylah has nothing to be ashamed of. Congratulations to Emma Radacanu. Congratulations to Leylah Fernandez. They both made the world excited for this women's final.
Leylah is a brat... grats emma!
Obviously disappointed, but very gracious in defeat and will only use this to fuel her future efforts. Two incredibly mature players for their age.
@@morenalajqi8577 How is Leylah a brat Morena?
@@catherinearcher1106 Agreed.
@@skelva100 She knew she was going down and took it out... reminds me of kyrgios in round 1 👍
She brings a smile to my face whenever i see her smile and win. A pure, genuine and sweet soul, yet so mature in her answers. Wish her more and more success. ❤
What about your cricket?? 😂😂
@@jenniferjordon351 haha.. 😊 i donot like cricket. I like Tennis and Football. Might be surprising but its true.
@@jenniferjordon351 And by "football", Travel With Rahul means the original football, NOT hand-egg - just saying!
How beautifully humble. Her first reaction to how she felt wasn't simply to say how wonderful it was but to congratulate her opponent and to applaud her.
I’ve watched this three times, can’t stop smiling about it! How composed can you be in front of a camera, what a professional and how exciting for the future!
She's practised with Andy Murray and grown with a public school accent. She isn't a nobody in Britain. Edit: 'background' changed to 'accent'.
@@V12F1Demon Well, had you heard of her before this tournament? I hadn't. Just saying...
@@richardpierpoint3006 Ofcourse. Saw the hype surrounding her at Wimbledon earlier this year.
@@kralimarko1504 Really? Raducanu has the game to beat anyone out there right now. She has an excellent serve, powerful ground strokes, but most importantly she has a freaky mental strength and is able to think on the spot to work out how to adapt to her opponent - something all of her opponents in NY failed to do to her. Leylah, just as Bencic and Sakkaria before her, got frustrated because her hassling-style wasn't bringing her the success she had had in the other rounds. She had everything on her side in the final - the crowd, her family, the net-cord (which went at least 5 times in her favor) and more experience, but it wasn't enough because Emma had worked her out. The adaptability this girl has could win her a stack of majors, If she stays healthy and disciplined of course.
@@V12F1Demon She didn't go to a 'public school'. For those who don't know, in the UK a 'public school' is an expensive fee paying school. She went to a state school (non fee paying) and her family background is not wealthy. I am amazed by her composure during this interview.
Perfect tournament. Not a set dropped all the way from the qualifiers. The WTA tour does spring surprise champions from time to time but this one really takes the cake.
What a match 2 young ladies producing great tennis hope both stay fit and entertain us for many years to come.
wow! no kidding. simply amazing. loved it so much.
It takes the biscuit. Piece of cake.
This USO was an outlier. Now that she's been played against, I don't think she'll find it easy to beat those experienced players again.
@@V12F1Demon Emma is learning and getting better with each match, she’s only been at this level since June and not only that she’s physically gonna get stronger.
It is clear from the way she handled those questions that Emma Raducanu has an extremely well organized mind and she couples this with intelligence and a broad general awareness. Perhaps this gives a small insight in how she was able to navigate her way through matches and this tournament, without dropping a set, and without being made to go to a tie-break, in winning the championship.
yes i hope now she helps the poor in Romania
@@Sportliveonline I hope as well,
@@Sportliveonline It's obviously YOU that needs help. Go proselytizing elsewhere Mr Traveling Overseer. Shame on you.
@@ricklee5431 John the Baptist ~~~~~if you have two coats ~~give one to the poor
@@Sportliveonline why help the poor in my country? There are plenty of poor brits... she should focus on your people since she plays for your country.
Emma Raducanu is an ambassador for sportsmanship, discipline, determination, poise, precision and overall success. She has the "it" factor and her genuine love for the game transcends through her words and actions. This is why the masses absolutely adore her.
and beauty ， humble

Don't know so much about determination and success anymore
When I was 18, I was getting lost on my college campus
I saw this highlights with you on youtube
I'd just learned to tie my shoe laces at 18 😂
Mr Singh, which college? Indian or Canadian college? 😂😂😀
@@jenniferjordon351 definitely Canadian
I was flunking high school.
I see a legend, not just a champion
Me too. When steffi beat martina i predicted she will create records. About serena also i felt the same. Now emma i believe is going to go for both serena and court's records. She has the talent and attitude. Best of luck and prayers for her.
@@positive120 I don't think so.
Yes, I agree. Emma has everything including the mental strength of Djokovic
She is special for sure, she adapts so well to her opponents game..
Woah slow your roll. She has won one tournament. Bianca did that two years ago and she is just one of the pack now....we will see but don't over blow it.
Her strong mentality, believing in herself brought her the glory. The way she answer the questions is just incredible, is full of wisdom, so modest and respect to her opponent. She's only 19, she will be another legend.
18
What an incredibly talented and humble young lady. Always giving thanks and credit to others before herself. A super bright future ahead of her!
I’ve got to stop watching this video and get back to my life. Nah, I’ll keep watching :)
Wow, only 18 years old. What an achievement! Congratulations, Emma! She's so composed. She might be excited or nervous inside, but her composure is outstanding. She did the UK proud.
The origins are not in the UK !!
Shes Canadian, born there, canadian blood Canadian family, sorry to say
Sorry. Romanian father, Chinese mother, where does Canadian blood come from?
@@RaduLuncan canada
Wow grandma (father's mother) emigrated from Canada to Romania !!!! And Binaca Andreescu is Canadian?
Can’t stop smiling to see how proud she is.
She should be given the special award for true sportsmanship! She complimented her opponent first and magnified her team appreciatively - so gracious and humble ... for the betterment of women's tennis.
Emma is such a great interview, she made sure she answered all the questions and gave Leyla her respect as well. sometimes I wonder where she gets the right words right away to answers those tricky questions. Congrats to both of them, they gave us a great show
What incredible composure she has . Thank you for giving me a reason to smile today . Was a Great Day to watch a sports match that didn't include any politics. Beautiful young new faces , Great Talent . Looking forward to years of Women's Tennis .
You are right 100 %....~ You are smart person...!
Emma is so charismatic the way she spoke and include Laylah in her speech what a amazing young lady
What impressed me was that she completely the first question posed to her that was about herself and chose to congratulate Leylah and her team. There's not an interviewer in the world that could phase this woman.
What emma accomplished was one of the greatest sporting moments i have ever witnessed and not only that she did it with so much poise and charisma on and off the court.I have watched her final many times and just love her interviews and how she handles the media and it is like she was born to be a champion.
Emma played like , spoken like , looked like a champion. She is the perfect champion
So mature for her age and always giving credit to her opponent....wow, what a wonderful player and sportsmanship she has....wishing her and Leyla all the best in their careers.
Man, British people never cease to amaze me. Such a character, man you're the best people in the world! Love from Albania 🎉🎉👏👏
Thank you! We appreciate it!
Fernandez came to play. Raducanu came to win. Both players represent big time. Respect.

Most tennis players nowaday speaks in monosyllable until these two young ladies arrived. They are both articulate & eloquent beyond their age it's refreshing to listen to them speak. I hope we can continue to see their rivalry on the court for years to come.
This Delightful, Amazing & Charismatic young Lady didn't just beat the opposition, she destroyed them ....Congratulations Emma.
I was rooting for Emma. Happy she won. But Oh man .. Leylah’s speech. Stole my heart ❤️. How teens are so matured nowadays. Great final after long time. Both entertaining and emotional at same time. Love you both. ❤️❤️❤️
Couldn't agree more 👏
Legend in the making. Classy, skilled, humble, gracious & talented player. Wish her many victories. Congratulations to these great Ladies!!!!
Even though I was rooting for Leyla to win, to see Emma emerged as the Champion is a sight to behold. Great attitude, composure and athleticism.
That’s so lovely.
Hailing from Bromley myself, I am immensely proud of Emma.
Lovely Emma, relief she Won. The grace of this young lady is so uplifting to see.
Absolutely love the way she smiles and nods after she said Virginia and Tim gave her the belief to do it. It is so endearing.

Crazy. First female or male tennis player ever to win a grand slam from the qualis, and did it un such fashion, not losing a single set. What a legend
She looks very beautiful Both mentally and physically 🥰
What a well-spoken young woman. Very nice voice. I see a career (a long time from now, haha) in tennis sportscasting.
Well said. No umm’s or ahh’s, left pauses for the crowd, very professional.
yes thanks to English schools and migration
One of the reasons I adore her
Jo Konta also talks like that very straightforward.
Yes, women's tennis needs to ban blabbermouth, Chrissie Evert from ever announcing at one of the Majors. She NEVER stops talking! Watched the replay on the Tennis Channel, and enjoyed the match so much more.
I'm watching tennis again because of her . RADUCANU is so INSPIRATIONAL.. WOW! CONGRATS EMMA!!
2.5 million is a drop in the bucket of what she will get off endorsements. ...She is Wonderful🏆
Very true , she’s the total package
Her parents are both financial professionals . Helps in her investments 😄
She could have a huge impact in China aswell considering that her mother is chinese and she looks asian.
that will be a small amount compared to her marketability as a half Chinese
She doesn’t look Asian.
she is really well-spoken. I am impressed. Fernandez is also interesting, confirming through interview that she is very humble and has a certain emotional ethos
Simply composed, poised and WONDERFUL! Well done Emma.

As Virginia Wade mentionned, it was incredible ! Usually after a match half of the public leavesn but these 2 champions gave so much thrills that everybody stayed for the prize ceremony.
A star is born, a sporting phenomenon with a brilliant academic mind - only recently cruised thru A levels with top grades in Math & Economics. An exceptional young woman with a beautiful smile. Thanks for making my day, not felt this happy for long.
Wow, what an incredible tournament: 10 rounds, not a set dropped and composed throughout on and off the court. Proud of this Brit!
She is an amazingly confident speaker for her age.
I strongly agree 💯💯💯
Well spoken and well educated
I was so happy and tearing up with joy at the moment when Emma & Leylah is looking at each other, smiling to each other about the possibility of them playing more matches in the future. So genuine reaction from players who are passionate about tennis. No drama.. I do really hope that both of them will keep up this level of sportsmanship years to come and makes women tennis great & interesting again
May this be the beginning of many more victories and joyful moments. Emma we all love you!!!
Emma has to have one of the most beautiful smiles I've ever seen. You can't help but smile with her.
Finally someone said it. I'm in love with her smile too.
