Emma Raducanu became the first qualifier, male or female, to win a Grand Slam singles title at the 2021 U.S. Open. She entered the tournament ranked 150 and had to play the qualifiers, all three of which she won in straight sets. She then went on to dominate the main draw, winning seven matches in a row, again in straight sets, including the final against fellow teenager Leylah Fernandez of Canada.
