From NYSE to Met Gala, Emma on a high
Women’s US Open champion Raducanu is enjoying her new-found celebrity status
From being on the prime show of Good Morning America to wearing a Chanel attire for her first ever ‘Met Gala’ to being welcomed to the New York Stock Exchange with rounds of applause, teenage tennis ace Emma Raducanu of Great Britain is thoroughly enjoying her celebrity status while in New York after clinching the US Open women’s singles title on Sunday.
Raducanu, who defeated another teenager, Leylah Fernandez of Canada, in the final of the last Grand Slam of the year and jumped 127 spots in this week’s WTA Rankings to No.23, is seen sitting in the studio of “Good Morning America” talking confidently with celebrity hosts about her exploits at Flushing Meadows.
“If you just do the best you can with every single day time flies and you can really achieve anything with inner belief,” tweeted Good Morning America after the show.
Following the interaction, the 19-yearold, whose father is Romanian and mother Chinese, tweeted, “Thanks for having me this morning, @GMA (star struck symbol).”
A Raducanu fan tweeted, “Stick with BBC and Sky when you get home love. Congratulations you’re the new generations inspiration x.”
