    Surprising when you look at the 4 big scalps Fernandez has beaten so far in this tournament.

    She has done fantastically well and should certainly be a grand slam winner at some stage, hopefully it is tonight.

    As a related note, it’s live on channel 4 if anyone wants to watch it.

    I don’t think Emma will beat her in 2 yet another record.0

    It's going to be a cracking game.

    I agree.

    Looking forward to them getting on court now. Come on Emma!

    Watching it with my daughter. We are feeling nervous but very optimistic!

    Channel 4 to be commended for showing it through Prime.

    Channel 4 have a good relationship with Amazon from sharing the autumn internationals last year. Hopefully they don't come to a deal for the men's final as it would mean Celebrity SAS being cancelled.

    Why does it sound like every serve clips the net?

    doubt they will, think it's only due to the British angle. A bit like when they put the cricket world cup final on terrestrial that originally was on sky.

    Nice of Konta to tweet even if it's to praise both of them. She got some stick the other day when anyone to do with British Tennis was praising Emma for beating the Olympic champion and she bizarrely tweeted about Grand Designs. It didn't bother me because I hope Konta is a bit jealous.

    Emma gave her that last point, Fernandez barely managed to return the serve. Think it could be a late night, come on Emma!

    Her unforced errors are racking up. The standard of both players is quality. Far better than the quality of the sound with most serves sounding like let.

    Some great shots from both of them. I'm enjoying this.

    Emma needs to work on her 1st service. Never seen a player fault so much. Looks a great talent otherwise.

    Really? I've seen a lot of players fault on their first serve. She hasn't done it most matches.

    First time I have seen her play today and she’s faulted quite a few times. The other player suffers with the same issue too though.
