The big one about to get underway. Hopefully a good final.

 

Ah, forgot I'm a bit behind, it's already underway, Jodie 1-0, but not sure if a break or hold.

I missed the start too, Anyway there was a break, but Emma has just broken back for 2-2

 Raducanu 6-5 up but ball in corner from burrage at 5-5 40-15 on raducanu serve looked in on the replay (but called out) and commentator clearly thought so too. The sort of shot some players can easily call out normally because noone else can see it (without linesmen/women).... except the camera could.

I guess it's tough calls if a lot on the line

Jodie really let that get away but congrats to Emma

I was just thinking, Jodie has now been in 3 main finals in 3 different events this summer, but has lost them all fairly narrowly:

BT Premier event, early July - lost to Emma 4-6 6-2 4-10, so went the distance, but was never really in a position where the W was within touching distance
Progress Tour, mid July - lost to Katie B - 6-3 6-7(4) 2-6, served for the match
UK Pro Series grand final, mid Aug - lost to Emma 7-6(1) 2-6 8-10, was 6-2 up in the MTB

She did of course win an individual event at the UK PS, so at least has some sort of trophy, and she'll obviously have a lot of cash for her efforts after $15k today, $6k for winning that weekly event, and whatever else she received for the other 2 finals.

I'm not sure where or when we'll see the likes of Emma and Jodie in action again. Hopefully both will get enough chances to compete internationally before the end of the year.
