COME ON EMMA!!! 🎉
The 18-year-old British sensation becomes the first ever qualifier to win a Grand Slam and the first British woman since Virginia Wade in 1977 to win a major.
Raducanu soon found herself with six break point opportunities in the second but Fernandez’s resilient defence made it clear, unlike some of her previous opponents, this was not going to be a walkover. Down 0-30 in the fifth after a double fault, Raducanu upped her excellent wide service game before Fernandez put a backhand return long to hold.Short rallies, long rallies, net play… there was little to separate the pair, and as Raducanu held again to move 4-3 up with a huge forehand, even the crowd were yet to take sides, cheering every special point played out in front of them regardless of who won.
Nineteen sets played, nineteen sets won. Raducanu was hungry for that final one and after holding serve, she had three break points which Fernandez desperately needed to hold, and she did.
