Tottenham fan Raducanu inspired by Korean Son Heung-min

Growing up in Britain means that Raducanu follows football and her favourite team is London-based Tottenham Hotspur F.C.

One of the biggest stars of the club is Korean Son Heung-min who recently scored a hattrick in their latest match with Raducanu closely following the result. As she is in Korea at the moment taking part in the event there, she was asked about Tottenham and Son. She explained that she takes inspiration from him as his story resonates with her own:

“I really resonate with him, and I think that what he’s doing for sport and football in Asia and in Korea especially is massive. I think that there are going to be a lot more future athletes coming from this side of the world.”

Raducanu started off her campaign in Seoul with a convincing win and she is looking to win the trophy. So far it looked good but tougher opposition lies ahead.
