Emma Raducanu's US Open Final can be watched, free to view, on Channel 4. Pregame coverage starts at 8pm with The Match starting at 9pm this evening.

Channel 4 struck a last minute deal with Amazon who were the only network showing The Match live but it was by subscription in the UK.

Come on Emma!

Thanks, Joan. I think Emma is one of the few female players that doesn't grunt :-D

I don't watch tennis, either - BUT Emma has been AMAZING! :-D :-D

She has done remarkably well and I hope she continues to do so.

Joan, I rarely watch it now, also having been put off by the grunting - and I was really keen on tennis which I played almost every decent weekday between the ages of 11 and 16/17.

Grunters ought to be penalised is what I think! That would sharp stop them. :-0

I hated hockey!!!

Oh dear once again I’m the odd one out ;-) ;-) ;-)

Love tennis and just ignore the grunters. I loved hockey too and played club hockey until I married. :-D

Thank you for posting this Belle as I would not have known about channel 4. Would have watched on Amazon ;-)
Shame on BBC could only manage broadcasting on radio 5 :-( :-(

I think it's The Last Night of the Proms tonight, Von so Auntie Beeb already is committed to that :-D

I'll be watching the tennis tonight on Amazon Prime - I didn't even know we had access to it but apparently my son subscribes to it. I just use Amazon Prime to order things with free delivery and didn't know about the TV bit of it :-D

Interesting to note that both Emma AND her opponent Leylah Annie Fernandez were born in Canada 2 months apart, of immigrant parents, and are both multiracial, but I believe that only one is multi-lingual (not Emma).

You may guess which girl I am supporting.

You have probably heard very little of Leylah, but she has been just as amazing (if not more) than Emma. We've heard of both girls.

Emma won .................... 6-4 6-3

Still, it is going to be a good few years of rivalry!

Sen-sa-tional :-0

I've woken up this morning thinking 'did that really happen' :-D

Congratulations, Emma <3

A new era of women's tennis has begun led by Emma & Leylah, with no grunting ;-) :-D

I didn't watch it as I don't watch Tennis but she seems a lovely young girl with a gorgeous smile and I am pleased that she won.

That was one heck of a match. Back and forth, advantage then pulling it back again!

I was exhausted watching it.

Brilliant playing from both girls.

Emma has already had a message from the Queen congratulating her. <3

A fantastic match. <3

Congratulations to both girls
