Behind the scenes of Emma Raducanu's New York media blitz
2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu has taken New York by storm after her historic win at Flushing Meadows. On Saturday, the 18-year-old Brit became the first qualifier in the Open Era to win a Slam, defeating Canada's Leylah Fernandez in the first all-teenage major final since 1999.
After a quiet Saturday night reminiscing with her team about her unfathomable 10-match run to the title, Raducanu woke up with a world of new opportunities in front of her. From morning show appearances on Good Morning America and a seat next to Kristen Stewart at the exclusive and prestigious 2021 Met Gala, to rubbing elbows with America's financial elite at the New York Stock Exchange, Raducanu has had a very busy 72 hours.
A roundup of Raducanu's bucket-list adventures below:
