Because in the city, which is known to never sleep, a lot of television is produced for those who cannot sleep. And when looking back at the US Open, I prefer to be a guest with the winners.
Emma Raducanu's triumph in the Senate was of course another special occasion. Because Raducanu hadn't expected a stay in New York at all at that time. "I thought I'd be home after a week after qualifying," she told NBC's Today show.
The flight home had now been postponed, but the reception at home should be warm. Also on the part of her parents. You are definitely happy. You are my toughest critic and so difficult to please. But this time I did it, "said Raducanu with a laugh.
Emma Raducanu frames the Queen's letter
In addition to the sporting success, there was of course a big check for the 18-year-old: 2.5 million US dollars were placed on it - and a first thought of what would be in it, Raducanu showed rather modestly: new headphones. They lost the old ones, but they were found before the semi-finals. "That's when I knew it was going to be a good day."
The Queen also had the letter, who of course congratulated Raducanu, she revealed, if she wanted to hang herself framed in her room when she got home.
And while Daniil Medvedev announced a big celebration after his victory ("We Russians know how to party, I hope I won't be on the news") Raducanu probably took it easy. They reflected on the victory with the team and told a few stories, "she revealed in Good Morning America .
Leylah Fernandez with a big thank you to Canada
But finalist Fernandez was also a popular guest on Today with Hoda and Jenna - two who Mama Fernandez always likes to watch, as she relates.
Most of all, Fernandez looked gratefully towards her native Canada. There the doors were once opened to her family and the grandparents were given the opportunity to work. That she, her sister, the cousins can have a great life "and can have that smile on their face", she is extremely grateful for that.
