It is, without exaggeration, a sports fairy tale. The 18-year-old British Emma Raducanu won the final of the US Open on Saturday 6: 4, 6: 3 against the Canadian Leylah Fernandez. The audience at Flushing Meadows was enthusiastic about the varied and hard hits of the two.
Raducanu played like she was a multiple Grand Slam winner, but the US Open title was actually her first on the WTA tour. It wasn’t until the score of 5: 2 in the second set that she began to tremble a little, but then used the third match point. Raducanu had come out of qualification and ultimately won the tournament without losing a set.
And now the marathon begins for them. According to the tournament management, she had 80 interview requests before the final. Of course, the popular photos with the trophy from Manhattan will follow soon.
