"She's a good girl with a nice personality" says close friend of Emma Raducanu about her

Emma Raducanu is a global superstar yet not much is known about the British player and how she is in privately until now, her close friend Paul Jubb offered some insight.

Emma Raducanu has not changed after becoming an instant superstar but she has transformed British tennis, according to her pal Paul Jubb. The teenage US Open champion’s huge popularity was shown when she was voted as the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

Speaking on his friend he admitted:

“Since I have been back full time at the National Tennis Centre, we’ve been around each other a lot more and we’re good friends. We always have a good laugh and good banter off court in between sessions and in the Players’ Lounge. She's a good girl with a nice personality. And I’d like to think she is still the same person now. I messaged her my congratulations when she won in New York and she is still humble enough to reply. I definitely feel like she is the same.”

He further said:

“For her to win a Major title is probably as big as it can get. I can't imagine how tough it is. The change in her life is massive. Now everyone globally knows her name and I guess she cannot even walk freely down the street now. It would be such a tough thing to get used to but I’m sure she will get used to it fairly soon."

He finished up with:

“I think she's doing okay, and hopefully she'll be winning more matches on the WTA circuit - we've all seen our potential and how good she can play.`"
