Emma Raducanu: Brit shows off ‘ridiculous’ strength in weight training video

US Open champion Emma Raducanu has showcased her strength by posting a training video of her doing weights on social media. 

The Brit has not played since this year’s Australian Open, where she was knocked out in the second round by Danka Kovinic. 

After this defeat in Melbourne, Raducanu vowed to work on her fitness ahead of the rest of the season and has seemingly placed an emphasis on building her core. 

The world number 13 shared footage of her doing core exercises on Twitter, along with a hilarious caption.

Raducanu wrote: “Finishing the week strong w[ith] some good facials & a nice round number. Happy weekend.”

While some questioned whether this sort of fitness training is healthy for someone like Raducanu, this particular exercise is commonly employed by tennis players. 

Indeed, footage emerged recently of men’s world number two Daniil Medvedev doing the exact same workout drill.
