Emma Raducanu, an emerging tennis player with high expectations from her supporters, recently shared a little-known aspect of her life: her passion for golf.
In a recent interview, Raducanu recalled the time when she was first introduced to golf by her father as one of his interests. Despite the fact that she isn’t a professional golfer, her enthusiasm for the sport is evident that shows all aspects of this amazing athlete’s life.
She said: “When I was young, my dad took me to golf lessons as part of the many activities I was doing. One was golf. I didn’t spend too much time on it, so please don’t judge me. He would take a few lessons at the driving range, and I would go along, just like tennis.”
She further added: “I think that being a tennis player, the swing is actually quite similar in a way. So with the longer shots, it’s, I think, quick to pick up if you put your time into it.”
