The British teen defeated 17th seeded Maria Sakkari of Greece 6-1, 6-4 in the semi-finals at the US Open on Thursday (local time) to also become the youngest Grand Slam finalist in 17 years. A 17-year-old Maria Sharapova had won the Wimbledon title in 2004. Raducanu, who is ranked 150th in the world, will take on another teen Leylah Fernandez, 19, of Canada in the women's singles US Open final. US Open's Twitter handle shared a video of the final point that sent Raducanu into the final. The Briton was visibly shocked, holding her head in disbelief at what she had just achieved. First time in over two decades, two teens will battle it for the top honours in a Grand Slam final. At the 1999 US open, a 17-year-old Serena Williams took on and beat Martina Hingis, 18.More Related News
