Emma Raducanu's record at the US Open Championships
Emma Raducanu took the tennis world by storm after winning the US Open championships in 2021 on her debut. She became the first tennis player in history to win a Grand Slam tournament after entering the main draw through the qualifiers.
The 19-year-old achieved this miraculous feat by winning ten matches in a row without dropping a set. She defeated the likes of Shelby Rogers, Belinda Bencic and Maria Sakkari en route to the final and outclassed Canadian and fellow maiden Major finalist Leylah Fernandez to lift the title.
