What has British tennis icon Emma Raducanu won?
EMMA RADUCANU has had a rollercoaster of a career – and she’s only 21.
Raducanu had an incredible 2021 by reaching the Wimbledon quarter-final in her first main draw debut at just 18.
And she followed that up with a sensational run in the US Open that same year.
However, since then she has failed to live up to the high expectations set when she first stepped foot on the court.
But, the British icon has already achieved what every player dreams of doing.
What has Emma Raducanu won?
Raducanu won the US Open in 2021, beating Leylah Fernandez in straight sets.
The tennis star made history by becoming the first qualifier, male or female, to win a Grand Slam title.
And she became the first British female winner at Flushing Meadows since Virginia Wade in 1968.
Furthermore, Raducanu became the first woman to win the US Open without dropping a set since Serena Williams in 2014.
What else has she accomplished?
She is the youngest Briton to win a Grand Slam title and the youngest women’s Slam champion since Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon in 2004.
And was part of the winning Bulldogs team in the Battle of the Brits in August of 2020.
Raducanu is an ambassador for LTA Youth – the new junior programme to help more children at a young age.
She also became the first female tennis player to win BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2021.
Raducanu also became a Member of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2022 New Year’s Honours List.
