Off Topic Brit teen in to the final of the US Open

Being discussed in the Wimbledon thread ... merge ?

 

Go girl. Best of luck..

 

Yes, I looked up her heritage when she did ok at Wimbledon, so I assumed it was just the usual, Britain claiming an already well progressed foreign talent. Didn’t realise it’s all through the British system.

 

I like her a lot.

 

Just got Emma at 11-2 for the young personality of the year. Get your money on her….

 

steady on mate, she’s only 18….. a bit young for someone our age lol

 

Steady on Kemp, she's only just fell out the womb

 

We can all dream !!!

 

How the mighty have fallen.

 

He's only stringing you along!

 

new balls please

 

It was quite funny that she's said she had her return flight booked two weeks ago....

 

Hey mods, can you merge the two threads, there will be more wanting to comment tomorrow before, during and after the semi

 

Bloody 2am!! I'm not at work tomorrow, but not likely to stay up til then. One of those occasions when you half hope insomnia kicks in.

Maria Sakkari is only 17th seed and has taken out 4th, 6th and 10th seeds. That suggests a positive result is very possible.

 

Here we go. It had to happen. Surprised it took so long

 

Wow. what a start! Sakkari looks a different level to previous, but still 4-0!

Sorry 5!!!
Wow 6-1. Incredible!!
Even worth staying up til 4am! Still expecting a response this time though,

 

Stop making a racket.

 

I stayed up cos I thought I may watch something special.
3.1 second set. Opponent is ferocious trying to stay in this, but Emma is phenomenal! She's forcing players to double fault.
Could have been 4-1 there, Sakkari was a bit lucky. Could be a game changer though.

 

What a response! Sakkari had a glimmer, played the next game very well, but Emma won it to love. Now 4-2.

 

Wow. Sakkari hitting back hard on serve, possible momentum changer? Emma hitting back hard. Superb from both, but 4-3.
