Emma Raducanu has set up an all-teenager U.S. Open women's final.
The 18-year-old from Britain beat No. 17 seed Maria Sakkari 6-1, 6-4, becoming the first player to come through qualifying to reach a Grand Slam final in the professional era.
She will play Canadian Leylah Fernandez, who turned 19 Monday, on Saturday.
If Raducanu wins, she will be the youngest Grand Slam champion since Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon in 2004 at 17.
