In winning the US Open in such spectacular fashion on Saturday night, Briton Emma Raducanu not only captured the imagination of tennis fans around the world - but also their pets.

Here British Shorthair cat Marcelo is seen taking a keen interest in Raducanu's match against Canada's Leylah Fernandez.

Cheeky Marcelo is seen taking a close interest in the score during. the opening set at the bottom left of the screen before appearing to paw at Fernandez as she hits a forehand shot wide and Raducanu wins the point.

"My British Short Hair cat, Marcelo, giving British star, Emma Raducanu a helping paw (or two)," says owner Nick, from Leeds.

"What an amazing final and incredible achievement for
@EmmaRaducanu," he tweeted.
