Emma Raducanu made her tennis debut more than two years ago, much to the pleasure of home supporters, by making it all the way to the fourth round at Wimbledon. The young woman’s victory at the US Open that year propelled her to international fame, and her story has been extensively covered since.
Fans frequently forget that some facets of Raducanu’s brief career have received little attention amid the feverish media hype, though. Max Eisenbud, Raducanu’s manager, noted this and claimed that not enough has been spoken about how the youngster’s family has handled their sudden fame.
Eisenbud noted that it is frequently forgotten that Raducanu was still in school when she competed in Wimbledon’s second week in the most recent episode of The Tennis Podcast.
He commented: “I don’t think Emma Raducanu’s family got enough credit for how they handled her. The lead up to Wimbledon and US Open wins. Here’s a girl who never went to a tennis academy who stayed in school, regular school, her whole career all the way.”
