Emma Raducanu to receive MBE (Most Excellent Order of the British Empire)

Emma Raducanu is set to become the youngest MBE recipient ever with the British player to receive the honor as part of the New Year's Honours List.
Tennis star Emma Raducanu is set to cap off 2021 in style with an MBE in the New Year Honours list. The US Open champ, 19, is tipped to become the youngest ever recipient of an MBE. The MBE is the lowest class of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire and it's given to individuals who have excelled in particular fields.
Emma shot to fame in September when she beat Leylah Fernandez in the US Open final, just months after taking her A-levels. Last week she was named the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. And the award from the Queen will round off the year perfectly. Raducanu is currently recovering from COVID-19 after which she is set to fly out to Australia for the Australian summer swing.
