"I don't think it will be emulated again": Boulter points to history for Raducanu, taken a lot of inspiration from fellow Brit
WTAWednesday, 28 June 2023 at 03:30
After Emma Raducanu made history by becoming the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam at the 2021 US Open, fellow British star Katie Boulter believes the act will never happen again.
Raducanu has received a lot of flak from fans online following her subpar performances after the US Open victory, prompting Boulter to come her her compatriot's defense.
"If we didn’t have Emma then I don’t think that these girls would be pushing through and I’ve taken a lot of inspiration from her," said the new British No.1. "What she did was absolutely incredible and I don’t think It’ll ever be emulated again.
"It was quite the moment and she’s a very special girl. I tried to take a lot of inspiration and tried to do what she was doing."
Raducanu recently underwent double wrist surgery, and will miss this year's Wimbledon and possibly US Open.

- 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".
