The 18-year-old became the first qualifier to ever reach a grand slam final.

Emma Raducanu's historic US Open run ended in triumph as the Briton beat Leylah Fernandez 6-4 6-3 in Saturday's final.

2.5million – prize money in US dollars for Raducanu's efforts over the last fortnight, equivalent to £1.8m. Raducanu's career earnings before this tournament stood at a combined 303,376 dollars, or around £219,000.
