In a US Open final that was already historic, 18-year-old Emma Raducanu made even more history on Saturday when she defeated Leylah Fernandez to become the first qualifier in US Open history (including both men's and women's singles) to win the title.
Raducanu won 6-4, 6-3 in the very first final between unseeded women and the first final between teenagers since Serena Williams and Martina Hingis faced off in 1999. Not only did Raducanu win, she did it without dropping a set the entire tournament — that's straight sets in 10 straight matches, including qualifiers.
Raducanu dominated the first two games, and was able to capitalize on Fernandez's seven unforced errors.
