Emma Raducanu and David Beckham
Football legend David Beckham posted an Instagram story with the former US Open champion Emma Raducanu on his personal handle. As two of the glamorous sports stars united, fans went crazy on social media posting comments like “Too much glamour to handle“.Even though Beckham retired from professional football years ago, he is still one of the most celebrated athletes in Great Britain.
The two British stars were spotted together for the world cup final in Qatar. Beckham was in Lusail stadium as one of the brand ambassadors of the Qatar World Cup whereas Raducanu attended the grand finale after completing her exhibition event in Abu Dhabhi days ago. Raducanu is looking to get back into form after a disappointing season in 2022.
The photo went viral as soon as Beckham posted it on his personal Instagram handle and the picture was shared on all of the social media platforms. Many fans tweeted the same photo mentioning it as “celebrities having fun“. Some even went to the extent of calling them the “biggest icons of Great Britain“.
There were other parts of Twitterati who called Raducanu lucky to get a picture with the football legend and some were curious to know who they were rooting for in the finals.
Emma Raducanu’s disappointing 2022 season
Emma Raducanu had failed to pass the second round at all the Grand Slam events of the year. Anyway, she still holds the Open Era record for the fewest majors played before winning a title. The Brit’s controversial decision-making in keeping a coach also contributed to her poor results. The Brit ended the season without a single qualification in the finals.
She ended her association with four coaches in the past 18 months. Now she appointed former German player Sebastian Sachs as her new coach. She is featured in the entry list for 2023 Australian Open but is an unseeded player at the tournament.
Despite failing to perform consistently on the WTA Tour, her overall earnings of the year were not affected. The 2021 US Open champion is still earning millions through endorsements and brands. The advertisements comprise a major fragment of her earnings. Emma Raducanu’s earnings from her on-court performances are far less than that.
The 20-year-old is currently ranked 80 with a win-loss record of 17-19. After winning her first slam in the 2021 US Open, the Brit has disappointed in all of her outings this year. She has no WTA singles titles to her name this year.
