The BBC are showing the highlights on Sunday but there is some talk of Amazon releasing the live match to a FTA broadcaster so keep an eye out as it may appear in the schedules. The match is around 9pm Saturday (UK time).
She is a young beautiful and very talented tennis player who has made the final of the US, however I am still struggling with the fact that this was the headline news story on the BBC and ITV.
Clearly a very slow news day in the world.
A potential SPOTY if she wins.
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

She's going to be a zillionnaire. Incredibly marketable, with the star combination of good looks, warm personality and a natural in front of the media. Talented also.
I just hope our sh*trag press doesn't start to destroy her after building her up. My cynical side thinks someone like The Sun already has some story lined up for when her star has waned a bit (and it will as more players on the tour will notice her and come up with strategies to counter her so she may get a run of losses as part of her wider progression)
News story here saying Channel 4 have paid Amazon to show it live tonight but not updated on C4 guide yet??
Bloody good of Amazon to give their C4 fee to British women’s tennis association, if true.

Now been updated immediately after the F1 sprint race - nicely done C4
Do you think Emma will be flattered by the image C4 have used for her match? Hahaha.
Unfortunately a large minority of the Great British public are embarrassing us again. Channel 4’s announcement of the coverage has had a lot of comments from the usual bigots with the likes of “How is she British?” and “Stop kissing her arse, she’s Romanian.” One charming chap has suggested that anyone wanting to represent Britain should provide evidence that their parents and grandparents are all pure bred British, which sounds all very nice and Nazi!
It’s like the Euros all over again.
After saying I didn’t want her to go on and win it so soon, obviously now I do! Will be tough, I do worry she has coasted thru and hasn’t really been up against it in any of her matches. Not a problem if she just blows her opponent away again tho!
What the hell is wrong with the UK. Get behind the girl and cheer her on. If you can’t manage that then get back under your rock. Unbelievable
Come on Emma!
Steady on, she hasn't won yet.
If 2nd game is anything to go by this could be a classic
Do you cheer your team only after they win?!?
I think that I'm going to have a hangover tomorrow morning...good match!
Classic in the making
It was a joke about getting a little excited.
Damn she has guts
She’s a monster
Quite staggering to think that if she wins this set then she will have won every single match including three pre tournament qualifying rounds WITHOUT DROPPING A SET. That’s almost unbelievable.
And what a first game
This is fantastic to watch. She’s an amazing player and so is Fernandez.
Let's not count chickensQuite staggering to think that if she wins this set then she will have won every single match including three pre tournament qualifying rounds WITHOUT DROPPING A SET. That’s almost unbelievable.

We are Scottish so you always expect the worst.
Keep on the backhand
I’m not - just celebrating her achievements thus far.
Both tremendous players and a great game so far.
Huge moment - go on girl

On fire at the moment.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Starting to look nervy.
Both superb here.
Bad time for an injury stoppage.
Not sure why it’s taking so long to stick an elastoplast on it though.
Yyyyaaaaaassssssssssss!!!!!
Great match, totally befitting of the occasion and an instant classic.
Nerves of steel
Heart of a lion
Congratulations - I don’t think it’s overstating it to say a star is born. Applause
Absolutely amazing , congrats Emma!!
But wow Fernandez played so well, what a game.
Wow. Just wow. Amazing composure. Not one set dropped all championship.

That wasn't good for my dodgy heart... Amazeballs!
She’s been unreal all tournament - congrats Emma.
The score doesn’t reflect what a classic that was. Without a doubt the most phenomenal sporting achievement of my lifetime. Outstanding!
I feel for Fernandez, she looks upset. But wow. This is a real moment in the history of sport. Incredible.
On Wednesday night I heard Martina Navratilova say that Emma would win a slam one day, but not this time. It sounded wonderfully positive and optimistic. Turns out it was actually a bit pessimistic!
Holy shitballs!!!!
So pleased that it was our teen that won!
Brilliant, just fantastic, what a match. Very well done Emma...
Fernandez is young too. These two will contest many classic matches in the future. I get the feeling a rivalry is born also. Look forward to seeing them clash again.
Simply superb

What a match and what a superstar Emma is. Unbelievable
Great match. Better player won though not much in it. Well done Emma.
Is the woman interviewing them on the podium wearing a new turquoise OP?
Wow. Can’t believe she has done it. Didn’t drop a set all the way through, didn’t even go to a tie break. 18yrs old. And British! Unreal.
Superb!
Spoty sown up as well there.

Think a Brit won men’s doubles and mixed doubles too ?
2.5mill wow
Eloquent doesn't cover it...
There may be a trace of Chinese and Romanian heritage :)
Wonderful achievement, I wish her all the best and lots of grand slams.
