Emma Raducanu dug deep to secure a gritty win over Oleksandra Oliynykova and reach her first final since her 2021 US Open triumph.
Aged just 18, Raducanu stunned the sporting world when she enjoyed a fairytale run to become the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam with victory in New York.
Her attempts to build on that historic success have been disrupted by countless injuries and several coaching changes, with Raducanu struggling to find consistent form on the WTA Tour.
She had lost her past three semi-finals on the WTA Tour, meaning the US Open remains her sole senior trophy.
