After beating Maria Sakkari 6-1 6-4 the British teenager has a shot at glory…
Throughout her incredible run to the US Open final, Emma Raducanu has consistently defied the odds to become the first British woman to compete in a major final in 44 years.
Now, the 18 year-old is odds-on favourite at a best price of 9/13 to lift the trophy and overcome Canadian teenager Leylah Fernandez who is currently 17/12 to win.
Punters back Raducanu to win the trophy at Flushing Meadows
In contrast to the bookmakers, oddschecker punters expect the final to be a much tighter affair with a narrow majority of bets being placed on Fernandez in the last 12 hours. Despite her short price, punters are still seeing value in the young Brit who has taken 49.2% of bets.
Raducanu 12/1 to become Wimbledon champion next summer

- Emma Raducanu 9/13
