Emma Raducanu: Homecoming event for US Open champion to be shown on the BBC

A homecoming event for US Open champion Emma Raducanu will be shown live on the BBC on Friday.

The 18-year-old's historic win in New York this month ended Britain's 44-year wait for a women's Grand Slam title.

The programme will be available to watch on the BBC iPlayer, Red Button and online from 12:30 BST, with a repeat on BBC Two from 15:15.

Fellow British US Open champions Joe Salisbury, Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett will also be involved.

Raducanu beat Canadian Leylah Fernandez 6-4 6-3 at Flushing Meadows, making her the first qualifier to win a major trophy.
