Raducanu tends to come out strong, while Fernandez seems to like to spot her opponents a break early to make things more fair. Be interesting to see how they start.
I was reading this morning how, during lockdown, Emma would practice her service in the cul de sac where she lives, and the neighbours had no idea she was at this level. They knew she was talented, but not how good she was.
I have watched Raducanu a few times now. What a player! Fernandez is also looking really good. Gonna be a cracker.
Give a break away, take it back immediately in a long, grindy game. Leylah has done that so often this tournament that you almost wonder whether it's intentional. The one thing we haven't seen with Emma is how she'll handle a long, drawn-out match, given how she has brushed her opposition aside to this point. Early returns suggest this isn't going to be a quick match, heh.
That Fernández has had to fight through many of her matches, and against higher ranked players than Emma, could give Fernández the edge over time.
