18-Year-Old Emma Raducanu Makes History at the US Open

Qualifier and Youngest Woman to Win a Grand Slam

Emma Raducanu, an 18-year-old qualifier, has completed the dream by winning the 2021 US Open, becoming the youngest woman to win a Grand Slam since Maria Sharapova's victory at Wimbledon in 2004.

A Trailblazing Journey

Just three months after making her tour-level main-draw debut in Nottingham, Raducanu has made history in New York. The British teenager fought her way through the qualifiers and has not dropped a set throughout the tournament. In the final, she overcame Canadian Leylah Fernandez 6-4 6-3 to claim the title.
