What a fairy-tale!

Came from nowhere. Qualifier for Wimbledon, qualifier for the US Open. Wins the latter without dropping a set.

Insane stuff.

[MiketheSnow]

And more importantly she appears to be a thoroughly lovely person

[MajorRage]

Feel a bit emotional! Wtf!

[Bovidae]

An enjoyable match that. There were nerves in the 2nd set but both players played without fear and went for their shots.

I doubt Raducanu's record will ever be broken.

Tim Henman

Leg End

Yeah. Class act - really grounded and with no airs or aggressive stuff. Love the way she acknowledged Tim Henman first of all after she won.

Mrs Meldrew read she flew her childhood tennis coach from her club in Bromley to be at the Final. Lovely thing to do.

[Bovidae]

This final was played on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Neither of the finalists were born then.

That is class

These two, along with Coco look to be the future of women's tennis.

Grace and style as well as power.

Good luck to the boy who wants to ask Hernandez out, her Dad is jacked

First qualifier to win a major tournament ever. One of the great tennis performances of all time.

Entirely marketable. The endorsements will flow in.

Billionaire in the making. No question.

On that front, how utterly tasteless that handing over the winners cheque is part of the ceremony.

My thoughts exactly

Win and the money will take care of itself

American crass

I liked the way the presentation was done with BJK, but the money bit was crass - Wimbledon is much classier in that respect.

I thought I heard the commentators say that was the trainer sitting with her mum and younger sister.

I don't think the dad travelled, even though he is her coach. She mentioned that in an earlier interview

They don't do that at the Aussie, not sure about the French but I'd assume not. Typically American
