Emma Raducanu completed her New York fairy tale and one of the most astonishing feats in sport by beating Leylah Fernandez to win the US Open.

Playing in just her second grand slam tournament, the 18-year-old from Kent won all 20 sets she played in qualifying and the main draw to become the first British woman to win a grand slam singles title since Virginia Wade lifted the Wimbledon trophy in 1977.
