Buzzing for this final. I desperately want Raducanu to win, but it’d be difficult to get mad about Fernandez winning it. I haven’t seen her play yet, so I’m excited to see how it plays out. Raducanu has been so great to watch, I love how quickly she gets the job done.

I'm the same. I want Raducanu to win, but Fernandez's run has been SO impressive, she absolutely deserves to win it too.

It's the opposite for me. I haven't watched Raducanu play, but I've watched Fernandez and she seems so confident on court, and I love the way she plays, it's very impressive, specially since she's just turned 19. I think that whoever wins is still a win-win, they both deserve it.

I heard (from Raducanus interview after winning the other day) that Fernandez was passing out cupcakes to everyone to celebrate her birthday and that was pretty adorable.

That's really cute! I watched an interview with her on ESPN Latin America, and the public behind them started singing "Happy Birthday" spontaneously, it was really sweet to see her reaction.
