Britain's Emma Raducanu completed her historic run at this year's US Open in style by beating Leylah Fernandez 6-4, 6-3 to win her first Grand Slam title.

Already the first player in the professional era to reach the final of a major tournament after coming through the qualifying rounds, 18-year-old Emma became the the youngest Grand Slam champion since 17-year-old Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon in 2004.

In just her second Grand Slam tournament, Raducanu ended the tournament as the first player since Serena Williams in 2014 to not drop a set in the US Open.
