If Emma wins her SF she will face Fernandez in the final, who just came through a three and a quarter hour match involving three tie breaks. She looked full of energy at the end but she must be feeling a bit tired after that.
So the rematch that Emma promised Leylah would happen 'many times' after the US Open in 2021 has failed to materialise again. She must be wondering if it's ever going to happen.
Tbf, as has been said, with the paths they have gone on since that final it would have actually been a remarkable coincidence if they had met in the final here.
Didn't see any of it but amazed that Emma got as many games as she did, plus losing so many tight games, with a rubbish performance against an impressive top 50 player
Edit: I see that "rubbish performance" has now been edited out from the start of the above match report. Kalinskaya remains as having been "impressive".

I was about to say Indy that "rubbish performance" were very unlikely words to be coming out of your pen.

To those people who do not like others doing quote replies, because it creates a long chain, this is why you need to do it sometimes - so the first message is kept, and doesn't get lost when it's subsequently edited, and so people have the context in the reply
(and, yes, it can't have been THAT rubbish - and even if it was, then there were about two dozen players who were a lot more 'rubbish' presumably)
