Raducanu’s parents
Emma Raducanu has a rather peculiar family background. She was born in Toronto to a Romanian father and a Chinese mother. Emma has always credited her parents for giving her a strong work ethic.
During the press conference that followed her successful quarter-final against Belinda Bencic, Raducanu was asked to comment about where her composure was coming from.
Emma credited again her parents to say:
“I think that the calmness and the mental strength definitely comes from my upbringing. I think my parents have both instilled in me from a very young age to definitely have a positive attitude on court, because, yeah, when I was younger, it was definitely an absolute no-go if I had any sort of bad attitude. So from a young age, I definitely learned that, and it’s followed me until now.”
