Tennis player Emma Raducanu said she's in "shock" that she has reached the final of the US Open - becoming the first British woman to reach a Grand Slam singles final in 44 years.The 18-year-old, from Kent, defeated Greece's Maria Sakkari with a sensational 6-1 6-4 victory on Friday morning that secured her spot in the Arthur Ashe Court showdown on Saturday.
Raducanu's historic win saw her become the first qualifier, male or female, to reach the final of any grand slam tournament and she is the youngest US Open finalist in more than 20 years.
The teenager hopes to continue to rewrite the history books to become the first British woman to win a singles title since Virginia Wade in 1977, when she goes head-to-head with Canada's Leylah Fernandez on Saturday.
Raducanu and Fernandez have swept past a host of vastly more experienced players to set up the first all-teenage final since Serena Williams beat Martina Hingis in 1999 - before this year’s finalists were even born.
Raducanu 'without question' the 'new star of British tennis' says Virginia Wade
The British star is still pinching herself at being in the final and said it was a "surprise" and couldn't "actually believe" she made it.
She said: “To be in a grand slam final at this stage of my career, yeah, I have no words.
"I’ve only really been on tour for a month, two months, since Wimbledon. It’s pretty crazy to me.”
“Today I wasn’t thinking about anyone else except for myself. While I have the moment I want to thank my team and the LTA and everyone at home for all their support," she added.

Fair play to her, it seems though that it's okay to be a migrant when you're winning under a British flag, but, as seen in the football, lose and you're not welcome..

They were sailing 80 miles off the coast of Ocean City, probably heading for the smoke we are weed people in Plymouth, cocaine is too pricey and very addictive.To be fair he has been pretty mute in his migrant bashing as of late..

I hear that, coke is rife everywhere, unfortunately, and cases so much disruption.. I've the gear in for a few Daiquiri's (Mango) after dinner, so I'll have a wee spliff and watch highlights of the tennis later..
