Raducanu's U.S. Open title moves her up 127 spots to No. 23

What a breath of fresh air these two young ladies are.

Obviously enjoying playing the game & happy to do interviews.

Their post game interviews were cheery, funny, insightful and inspiring. Truly a breath of fresh air for women's tennis. May both Raducanu and Ferdandez become the sport's reigning rival queens for many years to come.

Some people cant be positive about Raducanu without being negative toward Naomi Osaka. I bet most of these people had never even heard of Raducanu before she actually won this.

Sad. Just be happy for her, block out the anger, and applaud Raducanus' jawdropping, unprecedented achievement like the rest of us.

No, the posters like a “breath of fresh air”, meaning athletes sticking to tennis instead of using social justice politics to shine a light on themselves.

Not to mentioned, neither of them mumbled or sounded like a depressed twelve-year old. They've clearly been taught how to interact with others.

That's what makes this win even more epic. She was outside the top 300 a few weeks ago. Who on earth would have known her? By the time Wimbledon finished, most tennis watchers did know her name. Now, move over, there are two new young female players and both are loving tennis.

Is there not a torch lighting ceremony for the Winter Olympics too?

Eyes rolling.

Raducanu's straight set wins indicates she can dominate a field, and she should continue on as a force. She's great for the game on court and off.

I love Fernandez. She is a fighter and proved mentally tough, but her game is not quite as powerful as Raducanu's and has an inconsistent first serve. She could definitely be a big part of women's tennis, but her mental game will be her weapon to win. Her positivity and maturity are infectious.

Tennis needed the excitement and smiles. Clarity and optimism from its star players certainly is a better look.

Athletes are humans first. There is nothing wrong being aware of social injustice and raising one's voice in the present day. Some prefer to remain indifferent but others love to get involved. What's wrong with that?

Sports and Games - life in full flow. Lovers of Tennis are witnessing a new era. Briton Emma Raducanu, Canadian Leylah Fernandez, and a host of other young talented stars are rearranging the tennis hierarchy. Rival tennis players, their coaching staff, sponsors, media, and fans are all kept on their toes.

Good to see that there ARE in fact cheerful tennis players. Note how Japanese TV seems to be going out of their way to ignore Raducanu and Fernandez.

Raducanu speaks fluent Mandarin and has praised her Chinese heritage. Way to go girl. Congrats on your win

It would seem you're implying that there is something wrong with being proud of her lineage. Or am I misunderstanding the nuance of your comment?
