Fairytale run sees Emma Raducanu and Leylah Fernandez reach U.S. Open final
Emma Raducanu has now become the first qualifier in both men's and women's tennis to reach a Grand Slam final and has done so without dropping a set in New York.
Leylah Fernandez says she carries being dropped from Tennis Quebec's development program with her into every match and uses it as motivation, along with the other challenges her family faced along the road to helping her realize her dream.
Both teenagers will now face off on Saturday for a first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open final.
