I think her Semi starts at 0115 BST (Fri morning!). And she's playing a Greek, which is also quite unusual in this era.

I think she already has, by getting out of the "Quallys" to a grand slam final!She has a real chance to make history.
The men’s game is hopeful turning a corner too as federer and nadal seem to finally be getting old. Djokovic is difficult to like but seems to be a machine.Could be the real deal.
It appears a great deal easier for a woman tennis player to break through than a man, because there are no truly dominant players, particularly since Serena returned to mere mortal levels.
In the men's game, three players have wiped up 60 recent grand slams.
In the women's game, 60 slams might have 40 or more different winners.
Winning one is still a tremendous achievement.
I agree, I don't know what it is about him but I just can't like him. He reminds me of Peter Ebdon, another person I don't like but don't know why!Djokovic is difficult to like but seems to be a machine.
It doesn't matter - he's filled the gap in the fearsome foursome perfectly. Somehow world tennis has had 4 very different people slugging it out for the big wins. A script-writer couldn't have set it up so well!I agree, I don't know what it is about him but I just can't like him [Djokovic].
Yes, amazing match, as was her semi-final. I hope to see more of her in the futureWhat she has achieved in winning the final is staggering.
First ever qualifier in a major tournament to get to a final let alone winning it.
Ten matches played without dropping a set.
Well done Emma.
Well done today EMMA!
Let's hope she can stay injury free and progress through the tournament.
Raducanu is out in 2nd round.
I hope she can show that she wasn’t just a flash in the pan. She should have plenty of year’s ahead, but she hasn’t set the world on fire this season.
