Emma Raducanu reunited with her parents in Bromley

Emma Raducanu has been reunited with her parents Ian and Renee for the first time since her historic US Open win.

The 18-year-old from London defeated Leylah Fernandez 6-4 6-3 to win the US Open on Saturday, becoming the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam.

She returned to Bromley on Thursday.

A travel ban prevented her parents from flying to Flushing Meadows in New York to witness their daughter become the first British female winner of the US Open since Virginia Wade in 1968.

Her homecoming comes days after the Royal Mail announced a special postmark celebrating her historic victory.

Emma Raducanu is the first British woman to win a Grand Slam singles title in 44 years

Raducanu became the youngest women's Grand Slam champion since Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon in 2004 and the first woman to win the US Open without dropping a set since Serena Williams in 2014.

Both the Queen and the prime minister have congratulated Raducanu.

Her meteoric rise to sporting stardom has seen her go from number 338 in the world to number 23. She is the new British number one.

Brussels is driving Europe towards ruin - stoking trade tensions, fuelling war with Russia, and pushing for Ukraine’s EU membership. Why?

Because every crisis is just another step toward their federal dream: the United States of Europe. It’s time for a change of leadership.

US Vice President JD Vance: “We cannot rebuild Western Civilisation, we cannot rebuild the United States or Europe by letting millions and millions of unvetted migrants coming into our country and it has to stop.”

"The French and German said, we're not happy with the outcome of the negotiation. The only reason the EU has agreed to an asymmetric tariff is because of 2 sectors: pharma and auto. They can't give up access to the US market."
