Leylah Fernandez vs Elina Svitolina Extended Highlights | 2021 US Open Quarterfinal

[@skincarebagus1640]

This is my fave match of US Open 2021. Both of them played great tennis

[@tokunagaster]

Svitolina is such a thinker of tennis chess.

[@mintykookieee]

Leylah’s run was quite incredible, an 18 yr old, recently turned 19, defeated 4 former/current top 5 players. The likes of Osaka, Kerber, Svitolina and Sabalenka. She also took out Kanepi and Konjuh, who are not bad at all. They have been top 30 before. Her run was super impressive, doing it back-to-back-to-back-to-back. Incredible! I love Raducanu, but you have to give credit to Leylah for multiple consecutive three setters…

Truly a phenomenal match. Amazing points and dramatic momentum shifts. Honestly both players deserved to win.

[@commentarytalk1446]

The long rally before the tie-break really worked to Fernandez as you could see Svitolina heaving at the end of it. But nonetheless, a couple of "go for it" points was the difference in the tie-break and Fernandez reaped the rewards for attacking and gaining points to get to the finish first.

[@gloriaa.garcia3985]

Wow Leyla what a smart player you are being a lefty has its advantages. Can hardly wait to see you play again in a few months.

[@alancosta4760]

[@HASAN-gy1yk]

I think Sakkari vs Andreescu match was the best and most Intense...❤️

[@NANICU]

Plays quietly for 2 sets but the moment Svitolina goes down a break in the third, the screeching starts. TBH, this is intentional and was meant to put Fernandez off. Svitolina should have been at least warned for doing it.

[@freebird127]

Keeping challenging Leylah"s forehand is one big mistake Svitolina made this match, for Leylah"s forehand is golden, that"s Nadal in WTA!

[@marianagaoka9687]

The angles that Leylah's forehand produced REALLY reminded me of Nadal. There are other lefties on the wta but Leylah is the closest to Nadal's

[@ileana-diananicolae4605]

Spectacular match. Both of them played incredible and at least half of the points should be selected for "the point of the year". Any of them could have won ... Sorry for Svitolina ..., but she is not that far from her 1-st GS title.

[@kecleonboi]

I think she is a far ways away and I’m fine with that. She’s too passive and boring or a player.

[@Purrrelll]

A galaxy far far away. Svitolina career ended by a teenager.

Orgullo Ecuatoriano... En la élite del deporte ... Gracias Leylah por alegría que compartes a nuestro pueblo

[@rommellupae3447]

Te amo, Equador..desde Filipinas.

[@Nirky]

Svitolina's mindset is, play not to lose. However, when you play that way, you are restricting yourself by not being aggressive or going for winners and making your shots more predictable.

[@paulcoffield2102]

Svitolina's second serve will always be a liability going forward, especially against players who attack the return. 70mph serves into the middle of the service box just aren't going to cut it if you want to win slams.

[@roysantiago9131]

Leylah plays a lot like Li Na. She takes the ball early, sets up the points with her forehand, and strokes with a flat backhand. Quite incredible for a teenager. Really hope to see her win at least one slam in her career. She just needs to add more speed to her first serve and get more of those in

[@jaguchechka1313]

Лейла умничка, жалко, что не полностью матч.

[@roysantiago9131]

Leylah’s team should really model her game after Nadal. Add more top spin to the forehand and fix up the serve. Her forehand has sooo much potential. I think it’s even better than Brady’s

[@josephmariealba8483]

Watching Leylah Fernandez somehow reminds me of Manny Pacquiao. She is not afraid to mix it up, so that her games are very exciting. I can't resist comparing Emma Raducanu to Floyd Mayweather Jr, who is masterful in hitting hard, but is equally masterful in limiting the opponent's ability to hit back. Leylah Fernandez and Emma Raducanu have given the world an exciting rivalry (fierce but embracing rivals) that just makes Women's Tennis so exciting. I bet everybody can't wait to see their next game. Again, I can't resist seeing that Emma Raducanu, like Floyd, is just so savvy on maximizing her potentials in the finance game, while Leylah Fernandez is all about resiliency in the fight. Like Floyd, Emma had lost zero sets in the US Open, but Leylah had to fight for survival each time against bigger and stronger opponents.

[@Muffnews]

It's different in tennis please..

[@Muffnews]

That's a Filipino style ...compare compare compare....Manny is a sore loser, h usually says he has this, he had pain when he lose, Americans are not like that, if you lose, then you lose

[@MrPvinzon]

@@Muffnews There is nothing wrong with Joseph's comments. I know tennis. I also know boxing.

[@strawpaladin213]

Once again I caution against calling this a rivalry already. It is way to early to be calling it a rivalry. Then surprisingly only met once in juniors as well. All you radacanu enthusiasts must not know the game very well. She will be studied, her game will be broken down by coaches and she will run up against opponents who will test her. She’s young a talented no doubt, but comparing either of them to established boxing legends is frankly insulting to the rest of the field.

[@maureenjacqueline1857]

Love your comparison. It's especially apt because Fernandez is small and wiry and her opponents are solid and tough.

[@nickross4307]

Leylah was utterly sublime - amazing - looking forward to watching her again soon.......

[@00708046]

She was the youngest player to advance to semis until Raducanu had her match . Emma took all of her fame . To think they were both born in Toronto within 12 months , both from imigrant parents and that they beat out the best in order to play against each other in the final ! A dream come true win or lose . Many rematches to come !

One thing about Leylah. She hits a almost ATP forehand with a almost straight arm. Iga also hits a forehand like that. I think she was tired when she played Emma but can’t wait to see her at Indian Wells. Looks like Osaka, Barty, and most of the top players are going to be there.

[@divinitymode9364]

The trouble with Svitilona, Sabalenka, Pliskova and others is they only have one game. If it’s 100% they’re great. But anything less and they fall to pieces. And at some point at all the grand slams that’s exactly what happens. Well played Fernandez, though. Great match.

[@murakisadao]

Maybe in future, Wimbledon will be Emma's territory, as Roland Garros will be Leylah's, due to their opposite styles of playing.

[@strawpaladin213]

It is both of their first appearances in the final. Let’s not get to hasty about ever seeing either of them in a final again. Fans have this tendency to completely disregard all of the other talent in the game when these runs happen. You remember Iga? She never dropped a set taking the French open championship last year. Everybody was going goo goo ga ga for her and predicted her winning the next 16 tournaments. Has she? No, not even a minor tournament. Want to know why? Coaches study the tapes of her play and develop strategies to beat her. Same will now happen to Emma. Leylah has been studied more then Emma already and her game is actually more solid as a result regardless of her losing to Emma. Trust me, Emma is going to run into much stiffer competition going forward.

[@murakisadao]

@@strawpaladin213 Agree. "Maybe in future" I said, not inmediately. Emma has a big challenge facing two problems: the exaggerated spotlight of the media, and of course tons of coaches analyzing her videos. She must overcome those huge difficulties and it takes time. Leylah's runner-up condition and experience plays in favor right in this moment.

Both players were magnificent. I'm sure this is only the beginning to many more victories. That said, a critical observation noted & that is Leylah needs to exhibit a bit more humility in defeat & graciousness in victory. The Fernandez family's behavior was tasteless & unbecoming toward Ms. Raducanu. There's confidence and then there's offensive swag. A few sports announcers referenced this issue too.
