- ‘Leylah is always going to play great tennis,’ US Open winner says
- ‘I hope we play each other in many more tournaments and finals’
Emma Raducanu has reflected on her startling US Open run after she became the first British woman in 44 years to win a grand slam title, defeating Leylah Annie Fernandez 6-4, 6-3 at Flushing Meadows.
“I really want to congratulate Leylah and her team on an incredible fortnight,” she said during the trophy ceremony. “She played some incredible tennis and beat some of the top players in the world. It was an incredibly difficult match but I thought the level was extremely high. I hope we play each other in many more tournaments and hopefully finals.
