British tennis superstar Emma Raducanu has sensationally won the US Open in just her second Grand Slam appearance.
The 18-year-old phenom beat fellow teenager Leylah Fernandez in the women's singles final 6-4, 6-3 at Flushing Meadows.
Raducanu took the first set 6-4, with both ladies playing some scintillating tennis in back-and-forth exchanges.
She then took the second set 6-3 to be crowned US Open champion.
She wins the tournament without dropping a single set. A truly remarkable feat for a special, special athlete.
