Emma Raducanu’s fairytale run at the US Open has earned her a nomination for the 2022 Laureus Sports Awards.
Emma Raducanu has yet to produce a good result following her fairytale US Open run a few months ago but the Brit is still polarizing the wider sports public despite a lack of great results. The latest honour for the Brit comes in the form of a nomination for a very prestigious sports award.
The 19-year-old is in the running for the Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Award along with fellow tennis professional Daniil Medvedev – who won the men’s US Open title – Barcelona and Spain footballer Pedri, athletes Neeraj Chopra and Yulimar Rojas, and swimmer Ariarne Titmus.
Raducanu’s historic run at Flushing Meadows saw her win 10 matches
without dropping a set en route to becoming the first qualifier – man or
woman – to win a Grand Slam. The teenager was only 18 when she won her maiden major and the US Open was only her second Grand Slam event.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
