The story behind the look

Raducanu’s title-winning Nike outfit was a tank and skirt from the Fall NY Slam collection. Contrast-striped trims and a varsity palette gave the separates their recognisable character.

After becoming the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam singles title, she donated the winning outfit to the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
