Emma Raducanu says sometimes she wishes she never won the US Open, says she has been ‘burnt a few times’
Emma Raducanu has criticised “sharks” who “see me as a piggy bank” and admitted she has sometimes wished she never won the US Open after being «burnt a few times». Raducanu became an overnight sensation when she defied all odds to come through qualifying and win her first major aged 18 in September 2021 in New York. Ad The Brit’s miraculous run saw her become the first qualifier to win a major in the Open era, the youngest women’s singles Grand Slam winner since 2004 and the first British woman to win the tournament since Virginia Wade in 1968 – and she did so without dropping a set.
