Emma is currently ranked 338 and she gained 105 places in the live rankings after reaching the third round at the Championships. Raducanu is now no.233 in the live rankings.
Emma started her run in Wimbledon after receiving a well-deserved wild-card before beating Vitalia Diatchenko 7-64 6-0 and Marketa Vondrousova 6-2 6-4. She will be opposed to world no.45 Sorana Cirstea in the 3rd round.
Emma commented: “Playing in front of a home crowd definitely helps. Their support is so loud, and they are so behind me.
I go out there and feel like I have got nothing to lose. I want to do the crowd proud. I am really just here enjoying myself and trying to stay here for as long as I can. I feel like I am on a holiday – it is unbelievable.”
