somewhat of a whirlwind. can i take a picture? emma raducanu, a us open finalist on her tournament debut. 5,500 miles away, a brit s american adventure has really hit home. she s literally blown it out the park, it s amazing. to come from where she is and to get to where she s got to in such a short space of time, it s phenomenal, it really is. while emma s rise seems to have happened in a new york minute, the 18 year old from bromley has been training for years, first here at bromley tennis centre before heading to the national tennis centre. two months ago, ranked 338 in the world, her impressive wimbledon debut came to a sad end as she withdrew in the fourth round. but stateside, it has been a different story. nine games in, the new british number one hasn t dropped a set and the fairytale of new york has enchanted people from all walks of life.
