An incredible talent. It's her confidence to go for her shots that gets me. There doesn't seem to be any self doubt, no wait-and-see attitude. She just backs herself to hit it deep, or hit the line and if it goes out she doesn't shrink but goes for the next one with the same commitment.

Hopefully she has good people around her (she certainly seems to) because she's going to be in the spotlight a lot over the next few years. Fully back her to win the final, but whatever happens she should be immensely proud of her achievements.

Great news that the final will be free to air on Channel 4 @ 9pm

Ive been using the old mans Amazon prime login to watch so far but wasn’t sure if they would be watching via prime as well (sometimes hit the limit on simultaneous viewers)

Looks like she beat her last time they played in the juniors 3 years ago :whistle:

Incredible level so early in the game. Both of them striking it so cleanly (and nice to see none of the exaggerated grunting we used to get)

This has been a fantastic watch so far. Whatever happens tonight both girls are going to have amazing careers.

Great to see C4 pick it up tonight

My first proper look at Raducanu - WoW

Could be watching the beginning of an amazing decade of tennis between these two!

Holy shit I knew Raducanu has been efficient in her matches, but Navratilova has just mentioned how she's spent 5 fewer hours on court than Fernandez. That's basically 2 extra matches.

Hopefully it takes its toll.
