After making history at the US Open, Emma Raducanu posted on Twitter to say ‘we are taking her home’.

The Brit became the first British female to win a Grand Slam since Virginia Wade in 1977, and the first qualifier ever to win a Major.

Novak Djokovic walked away from Flushing Meadows empty handed, though earned the respect and love of the US Open faithful following his gut-wrenching defeat.

Whilst it certainly wasn’t his day, it’s definitely been his year after racking up three Grand Slam titles and moving level with both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

Lastly, the US Open fans certainly enjoyed themselves during the men’s final, though none more so than Dylan Alcott.
