Emma Raducanu, the 18-year-old British phenom, completed her shocking run through the U.S. Open with a straight-sets victory over Leylah Fernandez of Canada on Saturday.
Raducanu, ranked 150th in the world and barely known two weeks ago, became the first player to win a Grand Slam title after surviving the qualifying tournament. She became the first woman from Britain to win the U.S. Open since Virginia Wade in 1977.
And she did it the way she had handled every other match she played in New York, where she did not lose a set in 10 matches, a remarkable 20-set streak that it is unlikely to be repeated anytime soon.
