Britain’s Emma Raducanu has made tennis history at the US Open after the 18-year-old became the first qualifier in history to win a major tournament. The triumph comes after a 44 year wait for a British female to win the prestigious tournament. The tennis star did not drop a set throughout the competition securing the final 6-4, 6-3 against Leylah Fernandez. ‘It means so much to me to be here with the trophy’ said Raducanu. ‘It was always a dream to win a Grand Slam so to be here, I really just want to enjoy every single second of this day’
