No Stopping Emma Raducanu as She Overtakes Andy Murray to Stamp Her Popularity Across the United Kingdom

Recent records revealed the different amounts the tennis players get paid to make a post on their official social media channel. And the surprising part here was that against the expectations of a lot of tennis fans, British tennis player Emma Raducanu gets paid more than Andy Murray.

When it comes to being listed in the category of the most marketable players in the year’s first grand slam season, the name of Andy Murray being included is no surprise as he was part of the tournament even though he exited the tournament right after the first round. But what surprised us the most was the fact that Emma Raducanu who is much younger than Murray is getting paid more than him.

Andy Murray’s second fiddle in Australia Open

According to the data, Emma Raducanu gets paid 12,200 £ for every post she makes about the tournament on her social media given that she has 2,400,000 followers on her Instagram account.

On the other hand, Andy Murray has very close to 2,000,000 followers on Instagram on his official Instagram account but gets paid 10,400 £ for a post.

The difference in their numbers is quite huge given that their followers are not so much apart. Also, Raducanu did not go very far in the AO 2024 as she exited the tournament in just the 2 round.

Except for these two, the top 3 most marketable players in the list get paid much more. Can you guess who would that be?

And the last place in the top 3 is taken up by Naomi Osaka as she has a follower count of 2,700,000 and gets paid 13,100 £ for each post she makes about the tournament on her social media account. Do you think the top 3 on the list are justified? Let us know!
