Emma Raducanu stunned the tennis world yet again by reaching the US Open final.

The 18-year-old from Kent, playing at only her second grand slam event, dismantled 17th seed Maria Sakkari 6-1 6-4 in a one-sided semi-final lasting only 84 minutes.

She will face Canada's Leylah Fernandez, who upset second seed Aryna Sabalenka in a three-set thriller, in Saturday's all-teenage final.

Here, the PA news agency looks back at an historic day 11 at Flushing Meadows.

The final is the first to feature two teenagers since 17-year-old Serena Williams beat 18-year-old Martina Hingis in 1999 – before either of this year's finalists were born.

Besides Raducanu's heroics, Jamie Murray and Joe Salisbury guaranteed there will be a British winner in the men's doubles after they both reached the final. Murray and Bruno Soares are into their first grand slam final since reuniting at the start of the year, with the 2016 champions beating John Peers and Filip Polasek 6-3 3-6 6-4. Salisbury and Rajeev Ram secured a 7-6 (5) 6-4 victory over American's Steve Johnson and Sam Querrey.

Up next

It's a tough act to follow but Novak Djokovic will bid to take the next step on his bid to secure the calendar grand slam when he takes on Alexander Zverev in a blockbuster semi-final. Before that second seed Daniil Medvedev meets rising Canadian star Felix Auger-Aliassime.
