Umpire Marijana Veljovic steals show at US Open as fans hail stunning official for final between Raducanu and Fernandez
STUNNING tennis umpire Marijana Veljovic has stolen Emma Raducanu and Leylah Fernandez’s thunder.
The 34-year-old is umpiring the women’s US Open final between the two teenagers.
And whilst a storm was brewing on the court, Veljovic caused a storm off it on social media.
Some tennis fans are clamouring to find the stunning Serbian’s social pages.
One said on Twitter: “Does anyone know if the umpire in the ladies US Open final has Instagram? Just asking for a mate.”
And someone generously plugged Veljovic’s Instagram in the comments, granting their wish.
Another has extended an offer to the umpire to ‘hang out’.
They said: “Umpire for the US Open women’s final if you read this im free on Thursday night and would like to hang out.

“Please respond to this and then hang out with me on Thursday night when I’m free.”
Tennis star Eugenie Bouchard has previously commented on Veljovic’s dashing good looks.
Bouchard took to Twitter back in January 2020 saying: “The umpire in this roger/tennys match is super pretty.”
Brit Raducanu, 18, won the battle of the teens to make history – beating Fernandez 6-4 6-3 earning a cool £1.8million.
Remarkably, Raducanu didn’t drop a single set throughout the whole tournament.
She won a lung-busting nine matches to reach the final in New York, becoming the first qualifier to do so.
And she’s the first British woman to win a major final since Virginia Wade won Wimbledon in 1977.
