Leylah Fernandez vs Aryna Sabalenka Extended Highlights | 2021 US Open Semifinal

Watch extended highlights as Leylah Fernandez takes on Aryna Sabalenka for a place in the 2021 US Open Final.

The US Open is the final Grand Slam of the year and takes place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The 2021 US Open saw Russia's Daniil Medvedev and Great Britain's Emma Raducanu claim the men's and women's singles titles. It was both players' first major title, with 18-year-old Raducanu becoming the first-ever qualifier to achieve the feat. The 2022 US Open main draw is scheduled to go ahead between August 30 - September 11.

The last 4 matches of Fernandez against the top seeds prior to her fairytale finals are all worthy of extended highlights 😍

[Salomessanctuary]

Laylah is amazing. Looking forward to seeing her again soon.🙏❤

[arkine]

You can see Sabalenka is a very powerful tennis player. It really shows how much talent and composure Leylah has to have taken her down. As Leylah grows stronger in adulthood, she'll be even more of a dangerous player!

[cathiesennett]

You are a phenomenal Player, I can't wait to see you compete again.

[cjbfire]

I’m still coming back to re-watch this!!

[angelab]

Leylah proved this tournament that she is not the person you want to get into a tie break with.

[rsb]

Leylah may lack size but she has some pop on her shots great touch and great hands. It's a pleasure to watch her play.

[fans-edtd]

That lefty forehand down the line is LETHAL.

[calebchia]

Fantastic Giant Slayer ! she defeated Seed 2, 3 and 5 She cleared the way for Emma to be US open Champion.

[alexbowie]

Fernandez is a breath of fresh air to the women's game. All the shots and all the tennis brain with guile and deft touch to add to the punch that she packs on groundstrokes. Looking forward to much more from this little leftie.

After re-watching Emma and Leylah played power tennis in these extended highlights, I don't understand why some players like Sabalenka and Serena have to scream and grunt so loud so much. Now it just feels unpleasant in comparison. Just an opinion.

[richardgalid]

Fernandez could be the Nadal of women's tennis! She could indeed model her game on Rafa's game by perfecting her run around forehand!

[jlzivi]

Just like any other sport, being mentally tough is needed to win. Leyla was mentally stronger in this match. Sebalenka was bothered in a lot of things just like what she said on her interview:

[DonYang]

Leylah, go go go! Keep going, i believe there would be many more finals for you to play.

[skincarebagus]

The grunter like Sabalenka really needs to be shut down. Love you, Leylah Fernandez! Go get your Grand Slams next year

[LaBambaCL]

a super tough match.. after the previous super tough matches!

[kenarthur]

Great win by Leyla. She was able to shut up screaming Sabalenka. Thank you!

[nathanjen]

What this match doesn't show is that Sabalenka double faulted twice in a row at 4-5 in the third to give Leylah triple match point. She had all the momentum in the third set after breaking back but the pressure got to her.
