After a year that seemed straight out of a fairytale... US Open Champion and British No.1 @EmmaRaducanu is the 2021 #ActionWoman of the Year 🏅
Emma Raducanu won another award in London last night with the young Brit named the BT Sport Action Woman of the Year.
The 19-year-old tennis star earned the accolade after a sensational
2021, which saw her become the first-ever qualifier, male or female, to
win a Grand Slam title. She triumphed at the US Open in September without dropping a set
throughout the tournament, having reached the fourth round of Wimbledon
as a wildcard just months before.
Raducanu fought off competition from five other inspiring nominees, including cyclist Laura, jockey Rachael Blackmore, and Para-cyclist Dame Sarah Storey. The award was voted on by the general public. The young Brit is currently preparing to travel to the Persian Gulf where she will prepare for the next season before flying out to Australia on the 27th.
