Raducana wins US Open!

[Camy]

Emma Raducana, the British 18 year old, went to the US Open on spec as she wasn't ranked in the top 300. So first, she had to qualify to play...!

During her phenomenal run to the final, where she played Canada'a 19 year old Leylah Fernandez, Raducana didn't drop a set. She won the final 6-4, 6-3.

Thanks to Amazon Prime Video, who allowed the UK's Channel 4 to broadcast the final, I got to watch the match live.

WOW!

An impressive young woman who has made history. It is the first time that any qualifier, male or female, has won one of the four major tournaments. Well she now has one down, only three more to go.
