“That’s her never winning another trophy again” Tennis Twitter is aghast at Harry Kane mentoring Emma Raducanu for WTA Tour 2023

Harry Kane will be mentoring Emma Raducanu

According to the latest reports from Sports journalist David Ornstein, prominent football player Harry Kane has taken on the role of mentor for World No. 75 Emma Raducanu, eliciting a plethora of reactions online. Raducanu is reportedly in frequent contact with Harry Kane, as she seeks to enhance her current form for the upcoming new season. The tennis professional is also looking for some good advice on high-level tournaments and how to deal with the pressure and responsibility that comes with being a well-known face in the industry.

For those uninitiated, Emma Raducanu is one of the most famous British tennis players in the world. After her US Open triumph, she became the fourth British woman to win the prestigious Grand Slam in its history. She also became the first British to win the women’s singles title after Virginia Wade, who won it in 1968.

But ever since her form took a drastic hit, her performance on the court took a nose-dive. She failed miserably to live up to the expectations in the Grand Slams as well as in other WTA tournaments in 2022. She also lost her Top 10 ranking and is currently ranked as World No.75.

Eminent Sports journalist David Ornstein has an exclusive piece of news that he covered for the sports magazine The Athletic. He shared it with the world through Twitter.

Some viewers even pointed out that the partnership is a mismatch altogether.
