Emma Raducanu to play Champions Tennis at Royal Albert Hall in London

The Champions Tennis event will be held in November and will feature several notable names including Radek Stepanek, Xavier Malisse, Thomas Enqvist and Greg Rusedski. Raducanu will join those players for the event held at the famed Royal Albert Hall in London.

The invitation comes after Raducanu managed another notable result by reaching the final at a WTA 125K event in Chicago last week. She ultimately wasn't able to win the trophy losing to fellow teenager Clara Tauson but it capped off a notable breakout summer for the teenager.
