Two months after attending her sixth-form prom, Emma Raducanu is now one of the most famous young sports stars in the world, writes Sky's marthakelner

Raducanu: US Open win is a 'dream'A couple of hours after serving up a slice of history, Emma Raducanu emerged from the bowels of Arthur Ashe stadium, showered, changed into an evening dress and with a hair and make-up team in tow.

Two months ago she was attending her sixth-form prom at a golf club in Bromley; now she is in New York, clutching her new trophy tightly, illuminated by the frantic flashing of camera bulbs.Over the course of one summer, the 18-year-old's life has changed beyond recognition, from A-level student to one of the most famous faces in Britain.In a presentation unique to the US Open, Raducanu was handed a cheque by a representative from JP Morgan bank worth £1.

Absolutely mind bogglingly brilliant. The most gloriously unexpected British sport story of all time?
