    I watched the match last night - flawless technique - flawless strategy. And she fights for every point - we all know plenty who've worn our shirt who could follow that example. Mind - much the same can be said for her opponent tomorrow too.

    Yep just watched the replay, she returns serves with interest gets most of her 1st serves in and moves around the court with ease. She is a class act... but so is her opponent tomorrow.

    Good luck Emma tomorrow

    Its a bit of the changing of the guard, with these two teenagers challenging for the title tomorrow.

    Emma has certainly got over her Wimbledon nerves....

    A lot of good hype around her at the minute, let’s hope she continues what she’s doing and we could see a ladies Wimbledon champion in the very near future

    Do you think what normally happens will happen or is she going to be the real thing?

    if you take the emotion out of it, the other girl is a really good bet. She has been knocking the top seeded players out on her way to the final. It's been a way tougher route than Emma has had.

    See Amazon have given Channel 4 permission to show this live for free.

    Fair play to them for that.

    Didnt realise they gave it for free. They may have earned a further fair wedge on the build up to the game today.

    They will no doubt be taking a cut of the ad revenue, which I’d imagine will be quite substantial.

    Mind, by free I meant ‘folk who don’t have Prime can watch it’, for all I know C4 may have paid Amazon.

    Great contest both players well up for it and evenly matched. Doesn't look like anyone's going to bottle it.

    Great game they are both so aggressive.

    Thoroughly enjoyed that first set. She looks the better all round player no question.

    Feels like Fernandez had to fight harder than Raducanu and still lost, looks promising.

    Both got some fight in them, I’d imagine we see a lot of these 2 for a long time.

    Yeah said to my wife we could be seeing the start of a Federer/Nadal situation here.
