Emma Raducanu's US Open final against Leylah Fernandez is an inspiring moment for the women's game, according to the young Canadian's coach and father.
The pair will meet at Flushing Meadows on Saturday evening in the first all-teenage grand slam final for more than 20 years.
Raducanu and Fernandez are just two months apart in age and share an immigrant background, with Raducanu born in Canada to a Romanian father and Chinese mother before moving to the UK aged two while Fernandez has Ecuadorian, Peruvian and Filipino heritage.
"She knows that I'm supporting her from afar. I've mentioned in the past I'm in her heart and she's in mine. When all of this is done, everybody who's seen it from the stadium, fantastic. But I'm going to look at her right across the kitchen table when we're going to have dinner and we're going to be OK."
Fernandez had never been beyond the third round at a slam before but she has put together a phenomenal giant-killing run, taking out two former champions in Naomi Osaka and Angelique Kerber and top-five seeds Elina Svitolina and Aryna Sabalenka.
The scenario in the final is different, though, with Fernandez finding herself as the more experienced and higher-ranked player.
Jorge praised Raducanu, saying: "Emma made the final because she earned her right to be in the final. Nobody gave it to her. What she did was absolutely fantastic, as well.
He said: "Just immensely proud watching her play and compete like she's doing. It's almost too much now. Going into the final it's almost making it too much to believe.
"Up until then it's kind of like, 'Yeah, Emma is a pretty special talent', but now saying out loud that she is in a grand slam final is just really bizarre and just more than we all expected I think.
"We knew that the tennis was there but to keep going physically and mentally for nine matches now (including qualifiers) is just quite incredible for her and the team that's out there with her."
