Emma Raducanu has impressed the tennis fans and beyond after winning an improbable US Open title. The British sensation started her run from the qualifications before beating Leylah Annie Fernandez in a sparkling final.
Emma is definitely a “full package.” She has great tennis, an amazing appearance, an contagious smile, and maturity not typical for an 18-year-old.
Raducanu also has an interesting background having a Romanian father and a Chinese mother. The US Open champion didn’t fail to make an impression once again when she addressed her Chinese fans in Mandarin.
Once again, she was perfect.
🥰"Hi, everyone. I wanna say thank you to you guys and I hope you could enjoy my tennis. I'm thrilled to win. Love you all, see you."
