WTA star Emma Raducanu is probably one of the most popular tennis players in the UK. Last year, the British star suddenly rose to fame after winning the US Open by beating Leylah Fernandez in the final. Also, before that, she already made her announcement to the world by reaching the round of 16 at Wimbledon.
However, 2022 hasn’t been a great year for the British player. Earlier, she lost in the second round at the Australian Open. Again, she had to retire from her first-round match in Guadalajara. Due to injury. Her next stop is Indian Wells, where she will look to get back in form again. Meanwhile, she engaged in a fun conversation about having Andy Murray as her coach before the tournament.
