Emma Raducanu is going to face Leylah Annie Fernandez in a finger-licking US Open final. The British sensation has been impressive in New York after reaching the final, starting her run from the qualifications and without dropping a single set on the way.
Emma had an inspiring run also in Wimbledon a few months ago where she reached the second week until she had to withdraw in the 4th round after struggling to breathe. After the Championships, she admitted that she understood she had to improve from a psychical point of view to compete with the very best.
Here is a video of Emma putting all her effort into getting to the best possible physical shape.
