The Toronto-born reacted joyfully on her Instagram story
with a caption ‘a lot of love’ after it was revealed that she was the
third-most female athlete searched online last year after the former world
number one Iga Swiatek and the reigning US Open champion Coco Gauff.
During her time off the court, Raducanu went through multiple
surgeries on her wrist and ankle in order to regain full fitness.
It was because of this reason the former world number 10
ended up missing three out of the four Grand Slams in 2023.
Her only appearance in a major tournament this year came at
the Australian Open where she was knocked out after losing the second-round tie
to Gauff in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-6.
Raducanu broke onto the scene in 2021 when she won her
maiden and till now only Grand Slam title after beating Canada’s Leylah
Fernandez in the final with a score of 6-4, 6-3.
