There's no way she can fit as many things as Emma Raducanu pulls out of her little white Dior handbag in this promotional video. But well, that's not the point. For us tennis fans, it's actually a really interesting insight into the everyday world of the 19-year-old Englishwoman. It's about ginger shots, headphones, peppermint drops and much more.
First, the current 13 of the world shows an analog camera: “It's the first thing I always carry with me. I love that I can't immediately check the photos. This is how I can really be in the moment.” Among other things, two passports follow – Canada and England – and a medal from one of the first tournaments that Raducanu was able to win. She jokes, "I don't think the big trophy from the US Open would fit in here."
"I'm constantly practicing my ball throw"
It is also interesting that the 2021 US Open winner always has a tennis ball with her so that she can practice her ball throw anytime, anywhere. She also pulls a brand new can of balls out of her pocket and says, "People think we're freaks, but the smell and sound of new balls is so satisfying." And let's be honest, we all know that feeling of opening a new packet .
