Emma Raducanu has made tennis history by reaching the final of the US Open.

The 18-year-old from Kent beat Maria Sakkari in straight sets to become the first qualifier to reach the final of a grand slam tournament.

Here, the PA news agency looks at Raducanu's New York fairy tale so far.

Qualifying round one – beat Bibiane Schoofs 6-1 6-2

Rogers had defeated top seed Ashleigh Barty in round three and made far too many errors but Raducanu handled her debut at Arthur Ashe Stadium with aplomb, overcoming a nervy start with another run of 11 games.

Quarter-finals – beat Belinda Bencic 6-3 6-4

Bencic had won 13 of her 14 previous matches and after breaking Raducanu's serve in the opening game went 2-0 up, but the Brit soon found her range and never looked back as the accuracy of her heavy groundstrokes overwhelmed the world number 12.

Semi-finals – beat Maria Sakkari 6-1 6-4

Greek 17th seed Sakkari is a fierce competitor and an experienced campaigner, but Raducanu raced away with the first set and nervelessly finished her off in the second to reach the final.
