Raducanu on spending her fortune wisely: "My parents really taught me about the value of money and not to spend or splurge

Britain’s young tennis star Emma Raducanu has revealed that she is not a ‘lavish spender’.

The 20-year-old is currently spending a lengthy time out of the court after struggling with fitness concerns.

Despite not being involved in any action, Raducanu remains very active in different social gatherings as well as on social media platforms.

The Toronto-born was recently quoted in a report where she stated that she has been taught by her parents the value of money.

“I wouldn’t say I’m a lavish spender,” she said. "My parents really taught me about the value of money and not to spend or splurge, and that’s become really useful for me growing up."

Raducanu broke onto the scene in 2021 when she lifted the US Open title after beating Canada’s Leylah Fernandez in the final with a score of 6–4, 6–3.

That victory was even more special considering that the young tennis started her campaign through the qualification round.

But since then, things have gone downhill for Raducanu who has found it hard to continue the winning momentum, largely down to injuries.

This year, the former world number 10 participated in just one Grand Slam — the Australian Open — where she was knocked out after losing to current world number three America’s Coco Gauff in the second round in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-6.
