THAT MONUMENTAL US OPEN FINAL: GAME-BY-GAME

RADUCANU 4-2 FERNANDEZ*

SENSATIONAL from Raducanu. The Brit sets up break point and looks all but beaten as Fernandez races to the net with the court at her mercy, but the Brit guesses correctly and executes a perfect passing shot.

*RADUCANU 5-2 FERNANDEZ

THE passing shot in the previous game has rattled Fernandez. She fails to bounce back and produces a series of unforced errors to hand Raducanu an easy hold at a critical moment. Emma is one game away.

RADUCANU 5-3 FERNANDEZ*

FERNANDEZ shows her fighting spirit to hold serve after saving two championship points with some gutsy tennis. Raducanu must put the missed chances behind her as she will now be forced to serve for the title.

*RADUCANU 6-3 FERNANDEZ

RADUCANU saves two break points either side of an enforced medical timeout after cutting her leg. She seals the match with an ace out wide on her third championship point. The British qualifier has done it.
