Everyone on the tennis forums was joking about a Fernandez-Raducanu final and now Emma is up a set and a break on Sakkari. This is crazy and I am HERE for it.
Never - it's never happened - no man or woman has ever made a Grand Slam final as a Qualifier - Raducanu has now won 9 matches.Forget unseeded… When was the last time a player actually came out of qualifying to reach the final? That’s some stamina.
Given Nadal & Federer's injuries I'm not sure when, or if we'll ever see the 3 of them in the draw at the same time again, and by the time that Nadal & Federer are back they could be unseeded.I’ve never rooted for Medvedev before but if Novak beats Sasha then I will. No offence to Novak but I would rather the 21st gets decided when all 3 of the ‘goats’ are there! Of course Novak will win in Australia anyway so we’d get the same outcome
Great day for Joe Salisbury - winning the men’s doubles and making the final of the mixed! And hey, he was born in London so no one can say he’s ‘not a real Brit’

Bowl of Ice Cream o'clockWhoa. Djokovic and Zverev go to a fifth set. This means I can’t go to bed yet so I might as well have a bowl of ice cream.
So Djokovic is on to the finals.... Uggh, I have a few hours to decide if I REALLY want to fly to NYC tomorrow. It's history in the making. Should I/shouldn't I.... Now is a time I wished I still lived back East.
Hehe. I'm no jet-setter!! I have free miles and a friend I can stay with, and Open tickets were only $245. Cheap!! I can't really even travel much anymore due to my chronic back injury anyway, and that made my decision for me. Traveling KILLS my back, and I was already starting off last night around 7 out of 10 pain score....@ErikWilliam - I marvel at people who can just randomly ponder about jetting off to NYC to see a tennis match at the drop of a hat. Such an endeavour would require me at least 3 months of planning and a huge amount of stress and anxiety to be able to get my shit together enough to organize such an event!
I’ll be watching like a little mouse, afraid to leave her house.
I do have Swiss chocolate (dark) for today’s match, as it will be too early for wine.
They both have.I want them both to win.
Well somebody’s going to be more of a winner by the end of tonight.They both have.
Poor old Tim I always wonder why he puts himself through commentating at Wimbledon. Surely it brings all those many semi finals back?Pam Shriner talking to Tim Henman. Hasn’t he suffered enough?
