She won the title without dropping a set, the first woman to do so at the US Open since Williams in 2014. Raducanu was the first qualifier (male or female) to win a Grand Slam tournament in the Open Era, and the first woman in the Open Era to win the second major tournament she had entered. Raducanu's record-breaking run and victory at the tournament was nicknamed "The Fairytale of New York".

As a result of her US Open victory, Raducanu rose to No. 23 in the rankings, a jump of 332 places from the start of the year.

Her current ranking is No. 11 (April 25, 2022).
