Cracking tournament for Joe Salisbury, winning the men's doubles and now the mixed doubles.

If she loses tonight will she be back to being just another British also-ran in your view?

I stated she's done well and her seeding rank will go up, so I'm not sure why you feel the need to ask a stupid question.

Well, you didn't just suggest she was nothing more than an also-ran in the Wimbledon thread, you were quite adamant that she was.

It's easy to sing when you're winning, I suppose.

How about you just shut up and stop looking for an argument.

So who's everyone's shout for tonight then?

It's a very hard one to call, imo. Obviously, as a Brit, I hope Raducanu wins it and I can see a quick, two-set finish for her as a definite possibility, but I'm going for a Fernandez win in three very close, very hard-fought sets.

I’m going for Emma in 2. I’m actually looking forward to this. I’ve never watched a women’s final before.

Total game changer.

A lot of patriotic money has gone on this.

I don’t think Emma should be as short as 8/15

I think she should. She's been insanely good.

Yeah, they've both been a breath of fresh air for the women's game (imo).

I wonder if Tim Henman will be sitting in the same place as he was in Raducanu's last match. I hope his voice has recovered!

Edit: Looks like he will be.

I hope Raducanu can hold up mentally. That is my worry to be honest.

CaptainRAVE · 11 Sep 2021 at 21:03

Fingers crossed for Emma.

That was an awful rendition of the national anthem.

I think what happened at Wimbledon will actually benefit her here.

She'll do fine, despite the UK press laying it on thick.

mysticsniper · 11 Sep 2021 at 21:07

Raducanu for the win, she has been brilliant

el_dazza · 11 Sep 2021 at 21:09

She looked a little nervous there, let's hope she can bring it home

Slam62 · 11 Sep 2021 at 21:10

Yeah Fernández is loving it

Merlin5 · 11 Sep 2021 at 21:12

Great atmosphere there! This should be good.

Quite possibly. It cant hurt her for sure.

I doubt she's even looked at any press but she hasnt dealt it with it well previously. Hopefully like Rob says the experience benefits her.
