Raducanu, ranked 150th in the world, is only the third woman in history to reach the semi-finals from outside the top 100, and she’s in illustrious company - the other two were Kim Clijsters in 2009 and Billie Jean King in 1979. Raducanu’s victory was not without some struggle. She went down 2-0 in the opening set, and had to fight back from 0-30 as she served for the match.“It was literally one point at a time, trying to focus on what I can control, my serve, landing the first serve.The Brit is on a giant-killing run. Tennis writer Stu Fraser said on Twitter Raducanu’s run in New York is “quite extraordinary” while journalist Carole Bouchard added: “Raducanu, this is madness.
Commentator Jose Morgado called it “insane” that Raducanu started Wimbledon as No. 338 in the world and the 10th ranked Brit, but will now rise to at least world No. 51 and replace Johanna Konta as Britain’s No. 1 ranked player.
