Emma Raducanu began the year ranked No.345 in the world. When the U.S. Open began, she was ranked 150th. Now after going from qualifier to U.S. Open champion, the 18-year-old Brit is ranked No.23 in the latest Women’s Tennis Association rankings released Monday. Raducanu and fellow teenage sensation Leylah Annie Fernandez captured the attention of the tennis world — and the sports world at large —during the past two weeks as they made a joint run to the U.S. Open final. On Saturday, Raducanu topped Fernandez,6-4,6-3, for her 10th straight victory without dropping a set, including three in qualifying. Raducanu took home $2.
