Former tennis player Tomas Berdych sees Raducanu as the face of the new generation of tennis players slowly breaking out.

Everybody that is familiar with tennis knows who Emma Raducanu is and what she has done in the past several months. The first qualifier to ever win a grand slam, the first teenage winner in the past couple of years, and winning the event without dropping a single set are all things that are quite hard to comprehend when put together in a sentence.

Yet, the young Brit was able to do all of that in just her 2nd grand slam appearance. Since then, her life completely changed as she saw herself become a huge name in the world of tennis. Tomas Berdych is well aware of that and that is why he thinks she is the face of a new generation of young tennis players breaking out slowly.

He said:

"She's a young face of the new generation. There was a generation of Serena and Venus Williams where they won multiple Slams and then it was only recently we've seen many different Grand Slam winners. Raducanu is fresh, so I think the way she played in New York was incredible. She managed to keep herself focused, so why not? She has a chance of winning many titles. It would be great for women's tennis."
