New US Tennis Open Champion Emma Raducano and finalist Leylah Fernandez have not only conquered the City that never sleeps but captured the world in awe. These teenagers have arrived in style. A mere 19 year old qualifier has won the last biggest Grand Slam title for the year while an 18 yr old Filipina Ecuadorian has taken all sports loving people by storm representing Great Britain and Canada respectively. The last time two teenagers played the same finals was in 1999. Age is just a number. It's how much you want it. Even Novak Djokovic knows this well by now. His long reign and historic Grand slam obsession just missed it. To another young Russian Daniil Medvedev in straight sets. He had all the reasons to weep in the end, yet won the hearts of everyone in Flushing Meadow by losing graciously. Heart of another champion. Sometimes, you can turn a loss into a bigger Win. Another era has ended. Here comes the new Breed. The new AGE. Hope we produce some very young and new home grown tennis talents as well, soon aside from Alex Eala.
