Emma Raducanu's outfit from her victorious U.S. Open campaign will be displayed at the Tennis Hall of Fame after the 18-year-old Briton became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam.
Raducanu defeated Canada's Leylah Fernandez in the Flushing Meadows final earlier this month to become the first British woman to win a major singles title for 44 years, climbing 128 places to 22nd spot in the world rankings after her victory.
"A legendary run: preserved," tweeted the Tennis Hall of Fame on Monday.
"Thank you, @EmmaRaducanu, for donating your memorable #USOpen outfit to the ITHF collection!"
