In the world of tennis, athletes usually face scrutiny and criticism on and off the field. The pressure to perform can be overwhelming, and yet some athletes manage to rise above it all. Such an incident occurred recently with Emma Raducanu. She has been receiving constant hate and criticism for her absence from certain events. She has made waves in tennis due to her incredible feat over a short period of time despite the criticism she receives.

The 20-year-old British player captured the attention of the tennis world with her quick rise to the WTA top 10 ranking and also to win her first Grand Slam in 2021. She created history by becoming the first qualifier to go on to win the tournament. Unfortunately, she faced a few injuries and hit rock bottom by leaving the top 200 list. Fans have not been shy to take a dig at the youngster and have since criticized her.“Next season I’ll be back. The fact they are still talking about me even though I’m not at these events is just a compliment. Someone told me ‘worry when they are not talking about you.” said the British in an interview on BBC as a reply to all the hate she was receiving.
