Emma Raducanu - The rush hour saga of a tennis star at the US Open
WTAFriday, 23 August 2024 at 10:45
Britain’s young tennis star Emma Raducanu has reportedly apologised to fans at the US Open after leaving the court without meeting them. The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year is set to begin in less than a weeks’ time where players from all over the world are participating to showcase their talent at the highest level and secure the ultimate prize.
Raducanu, who will be one of the star attractions in the mega-event, left the court in a hurry and failed to meet a young girl who expressed her admiration for the former world number 10. She later took to social media and not only apologised for not meeting the youngster but also expressed a desire to meet her in the near future.
"To the little girl far up in the stands who said I was her favourite player at this mornings practice, I heard you and it made my heart smile,” she wrote. "I'm very sorry I had to rush off after practice but please forgive me and I hope to find a way to meet you or arrange a signed something or photo."
Raducanu broke onto the scene in 2021 when she lifted the US Open title at just 18. The most impressive aspect of that triumph was the fact that she started the competition through the qualifying round but still lifted the title after beating Canada’s Leylah Fernandez in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-3.
Raducanu’s most recent appearance came in the Cincinnati Open, where she was knocked out after losing in the quarterfinal to Spain’s Paula Badosa with a score of 4-6, 7-5, 6-4. Her first-round opponent at the mega-event will be the former Australian Open champion America’s Sofia Kenin. It will be the first-ever meeting between the two at the highest level.
