EMMA’S ACEING IT WITH US OPEN RUN

-

A STAR is born. Emma Raducanu’s recordbrea­king run in the US Open has lit up world tennis.

The teenage sporting sensation’s success is even more impressive given that she lost months of competitiv­e tennis due to the suspension of the WTA during Covid.

With talent to burn, along with a wise head on young shoulders, it’s no wonder former champions are lining up to say the sky’s the limit for the new British No1.

Jumping more than 300 places in the world rankings this year, Raducanu is the absolute breakout story of the world. She’s won a huge number of admirers at both Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows for how she’s approached her first two majors, taking time to acknowledg­e and thank the fans for their support.

Long may her success continue.
