Emma Raducanu, the 18-year-old of Great Britain had turned quite a few heads at the US Open, leaving colleagues and fans impressed. She took home her first Grand Slam championship title after defeating 19-year-old Canadian Leylah Fernandez in sets, 6-4, 6-3. It was the most remarkable celebration at the US Open 2021, captured in fascinating photos. Emma's win also ended a 44-year title drought. No Englishwoman had won a Grand Slam singles title since Virginia Wade's Wimbledon triumph in 1977. The British tennis player is also the first qualifier, man or woman to ever win a Grand Slam. The 18-year-old with barely any experience on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour surprised everyone with her outstanding performance to win the championship title. She is also the first women's player to win the US Open without losing a set since Serena Williams in 2014. It was only a few months ago when Emma made her WTA main draw debut at the 2021 Nottingham Open in June, where she entered the tournament as a wild card. Later that month, the tennis player made her main draw Grand Slam debut at Wimbledon, again as a wild card. Winning the US Open 2021 title has been a life-changing experience for Emma, who is now a teen sensation, inspiring many young girls to follow their passion in sports. Born in Canada to a Romanian father and Chinese mother, Emma moved to Britain at the age of two. Post the win, her pictures hugging the trophy closely went viral on the internet. With players like Emma, it only seems fair to say that the future of women's tennis is bright and looks to stay competitive as there are so many talented players.
