Her mother is Chinese, her father is Romanian and she was born in Canada. She moved to UK when she was 2 and has lived here ever since. She has a British passport. That'll do for me.
Semi final is later tonight
Raducanu 6-1 first set
It's after 11pm and the second set has just started. The US Open is all the way out in Queens. It's going to be a late night for most of the people at the stadium.
Yeah, that Andy Murray eh, he’s worse than Jacob Rees-Mogg isn’t he. Strange that you decide to reply like that to a post made almost eleven hours earlier and yet, in that time, no one posted anything remotely along thw lines you suggest. Certainly, tennis had that sort of image when I was a kid, golf did as well, as did cricket to some extent, but, if it was true once, it’s not any more.
By the way, in the actual tennis, Raducanu is leading 6-1, 3-1.
6-1, 6-4 to Radacanu to set up an all teenage final. The one potential problem I see for her is that it’s all been a bit too easy for her so far.
Just noticed that the men's doubles final is Joe Salisbury and partner against Jamie Murray and partner. All we need now is a world class male singles player.
It might be if the Final turns out to be a real battle. Fair play to Sakkari, she fought really hard towards the end to hold her serve twice despite facing a stack of break points - I started watching at 3-0 in the first set and, apparently, Radacanu had come back from 15-40 down in both of her service games, but she was never threatened on serve at all while I was watching, so her opponent, for all of the competitiveness she showed in those late service games, never really laid a glove on her as far as Radacanu's own serve goes.
In saying that, Radacanu just comes over as a real natural who instinctively makes right, and clever, decisions on court - it's a contradiction in terms, but she's an experienced player at the age of eighteen in so many ways and you get the feeling that she has another level to go to yet if she needs to.

projected to rise to 32 in the world rankings.
amazing stuff.
the other teenager she's facing in the final has arguably got some even bigger scalps on her route to the final.
