Raducanu, 18, beat 19-year-old Canadian Leylah Fernandez 6-4, 6-3, at Flushing Meadows on Saturday night

She has also become the first qualifier - in either the men's or women's game - to win a major title
Raducanu wins £1.8m - more than eight times her current career earnings - and moves from rank 150 to 23

I'm going to have to come down on the side of "Not Guilty".
Yep.
That’s Wimbledon juniors, not the US Open.
(not that I care)
The word “Smokin’” comes to mind. And, it was uttered by my 19 year-old son.
19 y/o, hot, and just won 2.5 mil...
It’s going to be hard for her to find a date...
The runner up was so classy in her speech saying that she wished she can be as resilient as New Yorkers have been for 20 uears after 9/11.
Apropos by the player who drummed Osaka out of the open and maybe from tennis for a while.
I was rooting for Fernandez.
Good attitude.
Agreed. Analysis paralysis.
Congrats champ!
Raducanu was born on 13 November 2002 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to Ian and Renee, who originate from Bucharest, Romania, and Shenyang, Liaoning, China, respectively.
Unreal. Both kids were awesome
Oh no!
She’s a Chinese spy infiltrating or tennis infrastructure to steal all our winning sports techs.
And she’s English!?
The whole world is becoming like America in that national ethnicity is disappearing.
I’m trying to decide whether that’s good or bad, but there’s a certain sadness that I feel - like we’ve lost something important.
Women’s pro tennis sucks.
There are no consistent champions. Just a round robin of names at the top of every grand slam.
(And please don’t mention roid-filled Serena. Her time in the sun is over)
Watch any high level women’s match, none of them can ever hold serve consistently.
Women’s tennis should not be making the same level of money as the men. Period.
You're actually right. Her viewpoint of the minimum acceptable guy has just shot up considerably.
On the other hand, every wealthy bachelor in the world now knows her name.
Agreed but England is still far less diluted than we are
No, she has British citizenship, making her British.
In terms of passports, citizenship etc, there's actually no such thing as 'English', funnily enough. England is simply one of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the others are Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).
Father - Romanian
Mother - Chinese
Country of Birth - Canada
