19-Year-Old British Star Emma Raducanu Chooses a Korean Destination Over Wimbledon as Her ‘Favorite’ Place to Play Tennis

Emma Raducanu has taken over the HSBC Sports’ Instagram channel for a day to have a Q&A session with her fans. In one story, the tennis diva talks about her favorite places to play and let’s just say Wimbledon did not make it to the list.

In what seemed like a fun Instagram story, Emma’s preference for Wimbledon might be permanently lost.

HSBC sport has surprised Instagram with their recent rendition- “Ask Emma“. Emma Raducanu has been answering her fans’ questions via Instagram stories of the HSBC account. Fans naturally have a lot to ask the current British no.1 tennis player.

The very first question that popped up from Emma’s fans was- “Where’s your favorite place to play tennis?” To which Emma answered, “My favorite place to play tennis in the world tournaments is Seoul and training is Singapore”.
