Great footage, thank you so much. Just a shame this supportive crowd were missing for the Final. It was so obvious the NY crowd wanted Leylah to win, and didn't fully appreciate Emma's outstanding effort..

[@corleth2868]

The crowd doesn't really matter. They were always going to favour a Canadian especially when she went behind. Raducunu gets the Wimbledon crowd behind her so it balances out over the year I guess and unless she's playing an Aussie I'm guessing the Australians will be on her side too, not so sure about the French but maybe. Watching it in the UK the bias towards Fernandez didn't seem that bad although...... maybe I was shutting it all out and just concentrating on the match.

[@mikewhocheeseharry5292]

Yeah the crowd wanted Leylah and it was cringed for me watching it on TV. Especially, during Leylah and Sabalenka because Sabalenka is one of my favorites. I sense a little arrogance coming off of Leylah after winning against Osaka.

[@brandon_den]

Leylah is such trash anyway

Completely disagree. The crowd was for both women. They were excited to be there to witness the match. Don't understand why so many Brits feel otherwise. It's weird. She has immediately been embraced and loved by the American public.

​@@AN-cy7xm So why did the Interviewer and Leylah herself refer to being the crowd favourite, and thank them, in the Presentation Ceremony? It was patently obvious to anyone watching, you don't need to have been a Brit! I'm just glad Emma was able to overcome that, at 18, a Qualifier with little experience, to overcome the boos when she caught her ball toss in the serve because it wasn't right, and the angry boos when she had to take a MTO for a bleeding knee, with Leylah screaming at the Referee it was unfair as she was on breakpoint, when it's WTA rules and she knows it. She just encouraged the crowd to think Emma did it deliberately.

Lol, I mean she is the average build for a human female - 5’7” 125 pounds. But, there are women in tennis at like 5’11” 145 pounds so that is quite a difference.

[@dtrjones]

I'm 5'6" and she's 3 inches taller than me (ok that doesn't say much LOL)! I think given how well she moves and hits the ball so cleanly her height definitely isn't an issue. Her best assets are between her ears though, mental toughness - seems silly to say that so early but I've seen her matches in the UK when she didn't play internationally and well she's the real deal.

[@seizethedayandlive]

@@dtrjones That's great. What I partly meant by my comment is that power in tennis (and in other sports too) doesn't depend primarily on muscles (though that helps). Even though she doesn't have the physique of a Sakkari, Emma can clearly pound that ball and it has to do with technique and timing. If you have size, strength, technique and timing, you're lucky!
