Is the men's doubles final after this match?

oohaahmortimer

No the other women’s semi is 
1 set all and 4-4 sabalenka pulled a service break back and I fancy her to win this 

Callumcafc

Fernandez breaks to love to win!

7-6 4-6 6-4

Don’t think she won a point after that maybe 1

Fernandez through to the final … wow 

come on emma , get there and it’s yours !!

Three players left… Unseeded 19 year old Leylah Fernandez awaits for Sakkari or Raducanu.

Surely watching the other teen beat the second seed and favourite here has to be a huge boost to Emma.

Ha ha 2 double faults in final game. She cracked under the pressure.

Went 0-15 down and somehow completely lost her head to give Fernandez three match points. It was a done deal at that point.

Lincsaddick

Sakkari looks VERY put out and nervous

it's remarkable .. I thought Sakkari would be too powerful, the reverse is true .. SO FAR

Callumcafc

Raducanu leads 5-0 in the opening set.

stop_shouting

First set 6-1!

Lincsaddick

phew

Callumcafc

She’s doing this so effortlessly. I’m in disbelief.

bolloxbolder

Quality set of tennis from Emma. Outstanding. 

oohaahmortimer

Being a pessimist I still feel Sakkari can turn it around 
but I thought early on she’d roll Emma over but Emma seems to just find that shot to win it 

stop_shouting

Another break! 2-1.

Lincsaddick

interesting insights from Navratilova .. I think she really rates Emma

Callumcafc

A set and a break up now. Come on Emma!

All the analysts on ESPN here in the States are in love with her game. They can’t find a hole in it and saying she has a dream service motion plus a fantastic return game.

stop_shouting

Dare I say it but it’s turning into a procession 3-1

Callumcafc

Holds serve after the break with relative ease, sealing the game with an ace. 6-1 3-1 the score…

oohaahmortimer

Scared 

Callumcafc

That was a big chance to effectively seal the match but Sakkari survives two break points.

oohaahmortimer

Still scared , clear off Sakkari ffs
