Could be quite a while yet given the quality and closeness of the tennis
Thanks. Off to listen to it on radio with sleep timer.

Tim Henman looks different from his tennis days.

So much pressure and good tennis fromm both. Don't think Emma has been hitting the balls as cleanly as she been playing but 1 set up will give her a boast.

Sounds like almost every service is hitting the net?
Been hearing that all week, don't know what it is.

If Fernandez can nail down that first serve she’s still got plenty to worry Raducanu

It's like they have microphones on the net and it's the sound of the ball going past.

Phew thought my ears were going.

Great game so far, can’t believe how young they both are

Great match so far.

Fernandez is the first person I've seen that's really challenged the aggressiveness of Emma's.

This is a fantastic advertisement for the women's game. So much better than a Williams sister winning a final 6-1 6-1.

Fantastic play from both players.

Our girl could do with a bit more help from the crowd. She just broke Fernandez with two brilliant shots, which were met with a light smattering of polite appreciation.

Worth mentioning that Joe Salisbury has already won the mixed and men's doubles in this US Open.

Pretty good achievement that's going pretty unnoticed due to a certain someone!

I've been thinking the same. I think its the servers shoes hitting the court after the serve. But it is quite off putting
I'm hearing the same. It's annoying.

Keep on telling myself it's only one break of serve when looking at the score now.

Is there any Hawkeye or line challenge in the US open? I don't think I've seen any.
