Her parents' influence also continues to be evident in the way Emma Raducanu remains composed on court and grounded off it.

"I think that the calmness and the mental strength definitely comes from my upbringing," she said this week.

"I think my parents have both instilled in me from a very young age to definitely have a positive attitude on court.

"When I was younger, it was definitely an absolute no-go if I had any sort of bad attitude. So from a young age, I definitely learned that and it's followed me until now."

Raducanu's surprise run in New York has had a downside - her parents have been unable to see any of her matches in person.

Nor were they able to see the final - against another teenager in Canada's Leylah Fernandez - because of the strict travel restrictions to the United States.

"It's not possible, because you need a waiver and it takes a couple weeks for approval. It's too late and they won't be able to get one," said Raducanu, whose love of motorsport has remained strong.
