Emma Raducanu , a fairy tale
A saturday spectacular,the biggest for some time,
Prompted me to watch and put pen to rhyme.
Raducanu and Fernandez in the final were to meet,
The 18 and 19 year old served up a treat.
Canadian born of Chineese and Romanian decent,
In pursuit of a £1.8 million prize Raducanu went.
Ranked at 150 entering the U.S. Open she did go,
Unearthing a deep talent the world didn't know.
It didn't seem to matter as her oponents got tougher,
She bulldozed the opposition as the terrain got rougher.
Two teenagers lit up the stadium,delighted the crowd,
Ice-cool Raducanu made our nation so proud !!
The first British champion to win without dropping a set,
A revolution in women's tennis we have just met.
A fabulous match an honour to see,
The goose bumps kept rising all over me.
Head to head with the best players in the world,
Emma learnt and adapted and new qualites unfurled,
She went on court and brilliantly won,
And believe you me,there's more to come.
Emma focused on getting her exams out of the way,
And the teen queen of tennis made our day.
She has got great faith in her self and her game,
Emma Raducaru ,flies confidently to fame ,
Congratulations Emma an A star in maths you have aquired
And an A in economics,many teenagers you have inspired.
