The 18-year-old was the first British woman in a major singles final in 44 years
She wins the title without dropping a set after a sensational journey in New York
Unseeded Fernandez, 19, ranked 73rd in the world, makes this the first all-teenage final since Serena Williams v Martina Hingis in 1999
Raducanu has not dropped a set in the nine matches she has played in the tournament (three in the qualifiers and six in the main draw)
She had a world ranking of 150 going into this tournament
Raducanu 6-4 3-2 Fernandez*
This is captivating tennis.
The players trade blows on Emma Raducanu's serve but it is the British hopeful who comes through with two meaty efforts. Raducanu turns to her box and shakes her fist in delight. Big hold.

Those second serves Fernandez isn't sure what to do with them.

And Emma Raducanu immediately breaks back! A thumping return and fist pump to boot.
It's all square again in the second.

Fernandez's box are getting a leg workout. They are on their feet after every point.
Raducanu 6-4 1-2 Fernandez*
Nice disguise on a backhand winner from Leylah Fernandez, but Emma Raducanu somehow gets a forehand back and then takes the initiative with an angled backhand of her own that soars away from the Canadian. That's break back point for Raducanu!

It's not a break until you hold...

Emma Raducanu has blown most of her opponents away in this Slam, but she's also recovered from going a break down early in sets in a couple of those matches. She swats away a return to bring up 0-30 before another zipped backhand drifts just long.

This is going to be a really challenging period for Emma Raducanu.

Zeb Bowyer: Watching this final is an absolute pleasure. The standard of hitting is unreal. Can’t help but compare Raducanu to Federer; it’s on her racket and Fernandez to Nadal. A street fighter who finds a way. Hopefully we get to see 15 years of this

And this time she does!
Leylah Fernandez ups the pressure and Emma Raducanu finds the tape. A momentum changer?

That's gritty from Leylah Fernandez, wriggling forward and punching a forehand beyond Emma Raducanu. It gives the Canadian another chance to break.
*Raducanu 6-4 1-1 Fernandez
Massive serve from Emma Raducanu, she seems to have found that when in danger today, but the British teenager can't put away a forehand down the line, instead catching the net. Deuce again.
*Raducanu 6-4 1-1 Fernandez
Snappy stuff from Emma Raducanu to fend off the first with a big forehand from mid-court. One to go... and she saves that too with a leaping second serve! How are your nerves?! Deuce.

From 0-40 on the Fernandez serve to two break points the other way...
*Raducanu 6-4 1-1 Fernandez
Oof! Leylah Fernandez catches the cord with a backhand and it jumps over to Emma Raducanu's side, the Brit scrambles but cannot pick it up. Two break points for the Canadian.

Fernandez will find a way. She is such a battler.
