And during an appearance on BBC Breakfast, Virginia Wade, who was the last British woman to win a major singles title at Wimbledon in 1997, added: “I’m just so thrilled that someone as good as Emma has come along and taken the world by absolute storm and just been brilliant.

“She has played really well the whole tournament. She’s dismantled her opponents. She has got the attributes that you need to make a champion.”

While Raducanu has been mostly lying low since the post-match interviews she delivered on Saturday evening, she has taken to Instagram a couple of times to celebrate her win – once, to share a photo of her with the trophy, and today, to share a billboard of herself she stumbled upon while sightseeing in New York.

“Never thought I would see this…” she wrote alongside the video, which shows her looking up at the billboard in disbelief. “Coolest thing.”
