Speaking after her win in New York, Raducanu revealed her prize money would go towards helping her continue to compete on the WTA tour.
“I will just leave that to my parents. They can take that for me. I haven’t gone shopping yet," she said. "I know that tennis is an extremely expensive sport, so it will probably go towards that."
