British Star Emma Raducanu Reveals Parents’ Astounding Reaction to Her Biggest Tennis Accomplishment – ‘Wasn’t a Big Deal’

Winning a Grand Slam title at a young age means a lot to the player and to the people involved in the process. However, Emma Raducanu’s parents haven’t experienced much difference since her US Open the year prior. On the other hand, winning a major title is like a way for the tennis player to gain self-confidence and improve her sporting abilities.

The tennis player’s triumph at the US Open gave her native soil its lost major championship title after Virginia Wade in 1977. She is the first British tennis player to claim a Grand Slam title after 44 years, after the 1977 Wimbledon. The former Grand Slam winner gained notoriety after an outstanding Wimbledon performance the previous year. Ever since then, she has been unstoppable.

Emma Raducanu on how nothing has changed after her major victory

In a recent in-depth interview with Grazia UK, the 2021 US Open champion discussed several parts of her life. In addition, she discussed how, despite having won a significant championship at such a young age, nothing has changed. Furthermore, even to her parents, she played the big championship match like any other event she would on a typical Friday or Saturday night.

The interview mentioned, “However, back home in Bromley, where she still lives with her parents, Renee and Ian, it’s business as usual, ‘[Winning the US Open] wasn’t a big deal at all for my family – it was just like a normal Friday or Saturday night. I’ve never gone out. I’ve never done any normal teenage things,’ she shrugs, matter-of-factly. ‘Between training and the travel, [the lifestyle] takes some getting used to, but I like to be on my own and it’s always about the bigger picture.'”
