The British teenager continued her fairytale run in New York with a dominant 6-3 6-4 quarter-final win over the 11th seed from Switzerland.

The victory propelled her to British women’s number one spot ahead of Johanna Konta and puts her on the cusp of the world's top 50 female players.

After coming through three qualifying matches to reach the main draw, Raducanu is yet to drop a set in her eight matches at Flushing Meadows.

She is the first British woman to reach a US Open semi-final since Jo Durie in 1983 and the youngest to reach a Grand Slam semi-final for 46 years.

“I have just been focusing one day at a time, taking care of each day," said Raducanu. "When you're playing tournaments, you just get into this sort of auto-pilot mode of your routines, recovering on the day off in between.

"I didn't expect to be here at all. I think my flights were booked at the end of qualifying, so it's a nice problem to have.

"I'm just really enjoying the experience. Out there on the court today, I was saying to myself, 'This could be the last time you play on Ashe, so might as well just go for it and enjoy everything'."
