Emma Raducanu says she does not want to let go of the US Open trophy after her fairytale in New York culminated in the ultimate happy ending.
The 18-year-old is the first British woman in 44 years to win a Grand Slam singles title and did not drop a set.
She is also the first qualifier to win a major title.
"It means everything to hold this trophy and I don't want to let go right now," she told former British number one Tim Henman on Amazon Prime.
"Yesterday there were weird feelings I couldn't put my finger on - I think that's just normal. When I came out it was business as usual, one point at a time.
"I had to fight hard for that first set and keep myself ahead in the second. In the key moments, I came out with some clutch serves."
