Romeo Beckham joins the echoes at Center Court! But it was not just a Wimbledon match, it was Emma Raducanu whom he was cheering for! However, after the second-round victory, when asked about Romeo’s presence, not only did Raducanu turn the subject around quickly, but at the same time, she switched the context to his father’s Wimbledon appearance.
In a post-match press conference after defeating Elise Mertens, the British tennis player was asked about the 21-year-old footballer’s presence in the stands. She stated, “I mean, I think he’s, yeah, he’s really cool.” However, just after appreciating him, she smoothly made a transition to David Beckham.
Raducanu added, “His dad is, you know, someone that I think every athlete looks up to, especially every British athlete, you know what he’s kind of gone through with the media, with his career, with the pressure moments. And having David in my first round at the front – was he was there from the start. At first point even when the crowd was pretty empty. So, I have the utmost respect for him and I think he’s just amazing for British sport in general.”
