Role-model Kane

EMMA Raducanu has sought advice from England captain Harry Kane about handling life in the sporting spotlight.

The teenager became one of the most famous sportswomen in Britain overnight last September with her shock US Open victory. It has been a rocky road since and her ranking has fallen to 76 on the back of just one semi-final appearance in 2022.

The PA news agency understands the pair have had limited contact but have shared messages and spoken, with the Spurs striker offering the benefit of his experience. In June, the 19-year-old took part in a question-and-answer session on the WTA’s Twitter feed and said of Kane: “He’s such a great role model to follow .”
