At the age of eighteen, Emma Raducanu pulled off the incredible achievement of winning the US Open two years ago. She hasn’t been able to find any kind of consistency in her game since winning the Grand Slam. However, she was never out of the news as a result of her off-court activities. Over the past few years, the 21-year-old has been subjected to great evaluation and criticism. But her fellow countrymen always stand by her side.
A few British players recently backed her to return to the Grand Slams in the upcoming years. Hannah Klugman, a 14-year-old British rising star, has expressed her admiration for Raducanu.
She expressed her remarks during a conversation and said: “I’m inspired by Emma Raducanu winning the US Open. I think it was a massive step in English tennis. Like, honestly, it was incredible watching her win, as no one’s done it for ages. So I feel like it’s, you know, really inspired me. You know, you can do it if you put in the work. She was in qualifying and ended up winning the tournament. So, anything’s possible for you to go.”
Klugman continued by saying that she occasionally runs into Raducanu at the National Tennis Center. She claims that Raducanu is incredibly kind and that she would love to play with him soon. Klugman is one of the more promising players, as seen by her recent accomplishments.
