In fact, Emma Raducanu will be the first player to come from the Qualy to reach the final, including the men’s team, and at 18 years and 302 days, she can become the youngest player to win a Grand Slam since María Sharapova Wimbledon rose with 17 years, the youngest in this century if we only talk about the US Open.
The last final of the youngest US Open was the one in 1999 that faced Serena Williams herself (17 years old) and Martina Hingis (18 years old). Almost nothing. A final that is a gold mine for lovers of statistics. This is the first Grand Slam final in the Open Era in which there will be no seed.
A new generation has suddenly taken root in the women’s circuit and has done so in this US Open that can serve as a turning point for a tennis of greater stability, and that, with the permission of Ashleigh Barty or Naomi Osaka, fill the void that has left especially Serena Williams when it came to ending the rotation of winners, especially Grand Slam.
18 years and 333 days is the average age among the 19 years of the American woman, a Canadian with an Ecuadorian father and a Canadian mother with Filipino descent; and the 18 years of the European, of a Romanian father and Chinese mother, born precisely in Canada (Toronto) but residing in London since she was two years old.
Hello, very good evening to all tennis fans in Spain, good afternoon from Flushing Meadows in New York. Next, we will offer live the Grand Slam final with the youngest average age of this century, which will face the Canadian Leylah Fernández (number 73 in the world) and the British Emma Raducanu (150 in the WTA Ranking).
