Teenage exuberance has stolen the show at the US Open so far and Emma Raducanu continued to ride the wave of her extraordinary summer with a crushing win over Sara Sorribes Tormo.

The Kent teenager dropped just a single game in a stunning 6-0 6-1 victory against a player ranked 41 and also having a breakthrough season to join fellow 18-year-olds Leylah Fernandez and Carlos Alcaraz in the fourth round.

Raducanu now has a real shot of making the last eight of the tournament as she takes on American Shelby Rogers, who dumped out world number one Ash Barty with a superb comeback.

Annabel Croft, herself a teenage star, sees no reason why Raducanu cannot continue the trend of breakthrough slam champions in the women's game.

Speaking on Amazon Prime Video, Croft said: "When we're talking about women's tennis and you see someone like (Iga) Swiatek win the French Open a couple of years ago, why would she not feel that she could go on and win a slam?

"We saw (Bianca) Andreescu break through as a world number 150, the same ranking that she's at right now, who then went on to win Indian Wells and then came forward and won the US Open.

"I think her tennis is grand slam-winning material. Whether it's this year, next year, but it's that good."
