    Before Wimbledon she was ranked at 336 in the world.

    By making the final alone she will break in to the worlds top 30.

    Fantastic performance!! Some of the records she's broken are amazing, and so lovely with it too.
    Gu on lass!!

    18 sets in a row and got some good scalps. Nice little earner backing her to win because she keeps getting made the outsider by the bookies.

    Not the outsider this time. Odds on favourite
    I’ve no idea who will win though. Fernandez is another up and coming youngster who has had an amazing tournament as well and just beat the #2 seed. I’d say it’s evens for both. But won’t be betting on it

    I wonder if anyone has ever made a major final before with a career record as little as 8 wins and 3 losses.

    Ridiculous.

    The final between the teenagers looks set to be an absolute cracker.

    Are you Bobby Riggs in disguise? He said something on those lines but Billy Jean King emphatically put him 'back in his box' :):):)

    I know tennis works on ranking points but you would think which ever of these girls wins the us open to me they should be top 10.

    Unbelievable! Really hope she wins it. It’ll be an interesting final that’s for sure, but I think all the pressure will be on Fernandez. Come on Emma!

    It’s like Barnsley last season. I just expect her to beat whoever is put before her!

    She’s not being coached by Big Val is she?

    Absolutely phenomenal. Stayed up for it, so just starting to sink into sleep depravation. This is today's front page at The Express btw. How lovely.

    I don't mean she is ours in terms of possession any more than we all believe Barnsley is our team.

    I wish I could have . Just the worst time to stay up for !

    That Fernandez has also been unreal this tournament. It's going to be an amazing occasion (and hopefully game)

    It's shaping up to be a belter. Sakkari clearly hadn't done her homework. Pretty sure Fernandez' coaching team will be all over her baseline position, and the importance of their first serve %
    I think Fernandez will be a completely different kettle of fish

    You dont get to be top 10 in the world on just one tournament and I dont think you should as it is I think they will both be in the top 30 which is pretty decent. I think this is Emma's 4th proper tournament so its too early to say she is in the worlds top 10 in my opinion. If she carries on playing similar tennis she soon will be though

    Yes- mentally as well she's incredible. She was getting blown away the first few games against Sabalenka and she just patiently continued game by game. It was amazing to see.

    I suspect most of the readers of that rag will not see the irony in the two headlines!
