Raducanu and Serena Williams among four tennis stars to make Elle 100 Women Change Makers list

Emma Raducanu and Serena Williams found themselves in the Elle 100 Women change-makers list alongside two other tennis players.

Emma Raducanu saw herself become an inspirational figure back home in the UK by winning the US Open as a qualifier. She created tennis history and inspired many kids, particularly young girls to pick up the racquet. It's something that has made her very happy as she showcased her support recently by surprising a group of high schoolers at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton.

All of that got her on the list of the 100 women change markers list by Elle. She's one of four tennis players in the list with the other being Serena Williams. The importance of Williams for tennis has been stated many times before and her being widely considered the GOAT of all time is just one of them.

The other players named were Naomi Osaka and Ashleigh Barty. The Australian retired earlier this year from tennis but her work in many areas in Australia, particularly indigenous representation has been widely praised.

Naomi Osaka and her work around mental health and raising awareness on the issue was also highlighted as a reason why she was included.
