LIVE! Kerber against Barty's Final Ticket by Cincinnati

In addition to Leylah Fernandez Emma Raducanu is the discovery of the US Open in women's tennis. The 18-year-old Englishwoman has triggered a tremendous wave of euphoria in their homeland - and now met the most recently as a form-strong Belinda Bencic, which has had a fabulous match balance of 13: 1 since its Olympic victory.

The Swiss then caught the better start, the breeding her opponent concentrated very early and focused, but soon lost the thread. The Raducanu born in Toronto (Canada), daughter of a Romanians and a Chinese, increased, put off her initial nervousness and found it better into play. The preliminary break to the set gain succeeded by the Englishman then to 5: 3.

Bencic leaves the premium

Bencic had problems with the first surcharge at the beginning of the second sentence - and their second is not their strength anyway. The 24-year-old stood under pressure, but retained on her greater wealth of experience and brought her opponent a little out of the concept with rhythm changes - but not.

Raducanu, who had reached the main field via the qualification (!), Remained left and made with precise punches Bencic again and again. In total, it was a handsome match on a very good level, but Bencic kept it with her service. Significant: With a double error, Raducanu granted the break to 3: 2.

It was not for Bencic, but did not beat and fought. Twice the Eidgenössin then came at the opposing serve at 0:30 ran - more, however, was not in it against a nervous Raducanu, which brought the 6: 3, 6: 4 victory ultimately clever into dry towels.

Now either Karolina Pliskova (Czech Republic) or Maria Sakkari (Greece), which in the Night Session, is waiting for the last semi-finish.
