Emma Raducanu, Laura Robson
Laura Robson, the former British Tennis player was short for words when talking about 19-year-old Emma Raducanu, naming her as an inspiration for the new generation of players in the women’s circuit, just being 19, Raducanu is one of the most exciting talents in the WTA and is destined to be one of the best players with her evident talent.
Although not being able to perform at the peak of her powers this year and facing second-round exits in all major tournaments this year, Raducanu remains to be one of the most popular talents in the women’s circuit. Raducanu defeated Alison Van Uytvanck in straight sets but was unable to defeat Caroline Garcia in the second round of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships.
“There is no doubt that Emma has had a massive impact on young people,” Laura Robson lauds Emma Raducanu as an inspirational figure
Talking about Raducanu’s impact on the youngsters in the UK, Laura Robson said, “It’s so cool. Just to have that inspirational figure to look up to. They all watched the US Open last year and they were looking forward to seeing her at Wimbledon and it is cool that in five years time, they will have watched Emma grow and they will be teenagers themselves by then. There is no doubt that Emma has had a massive impact on young people. They see what she achieved at the US Open and they want to try tennis. That is great for our sport.”
“I did this interview with Wimbledon for a local primary school and asked the kids who were their favorite players and almost all of them said Emma, she is so exciting to watch, she is right there with them and just needs a good run of training and competition to get her body used to playing week in, week out,” Robson said further in her interview with Tennis365.
