US Open 2021: Emma Raducanu faces fellow teenager Leylah Fernandez in final
Their different paths and contrasting styles - but similarly fearless approach - have set up the first Grand Slam final between teenagers since the 1999 US Open when Serena Williams beat Martina Hingis.
What has been impressive is that not only is she 18, but she has clinically beaten much more experienced players such as Olympic champion Belinda Bencic and 17th seed Maria Sakkari with a fearless game that shows great variety, as well as the intelligence to change tactics on the spot.
She, too, has been showered with congratulations, and among the messages from the prime minister and top sports people, there was this bit of advice from Canadian ice hockey captain Marie-Philip Poulin: "Make sure to have that maple syrup before the final!" The left-handed Canadian loves fist-pumping and revving the crowd up to get behind her, while Raducanu cuts a serene figure.
