Emma Raducanu has pushed her limits since her last match against Coco Gauff. The British champion underwent three surgeries and felt so low being away from tennis that she even said she sometimes regrets winning the US Open at such a young age. Raducanu was only 18 when she became the first British woman to win a Grand Slam in 44 years. With glory and fame came pressure and severe injuries that required frequent medical attention and rest.

The 20-year-old has been fighting her battles while updating fans about her health, rehabilitation progress, and training sessions. But the hate the young champion receives is massive. Finally, the British star has subtly issued a short but fiery response directed towards the negative comments.
