Emma Raducanu is only 20 years old and yet the Brit has experienced pretty much everything that is frustrating and fun in her naturally short professional career. Second, of course, is the victory at the US Open 2021, when Raducanu, coming out of the preliminary round, was the first qualifier ever to win a Grand Slam tournament.
In the last few weeks and months, however, the frustration already mentioned should be the prevailing feeling for the young lady from Great Britain. While Raducanus' advertising income should continue to be worthy of all credit, sporting successes have been lacking since the first day after their great triumph in New York. In the meantime, the Toronto-born right-hander is no longer in the top 100 in the world rankings either.
Despite bad luck, a smile for the camera
And now a month-long break due to several injuries and operations. After the left wrist, which was operated on in early May, operations now also had to be carried out on the right wrist and left ankle. When exactly the tour will start again remains to be seen.
We have no idea how the Wimbledon quarter-finalist still smiles at the camera despite all the bad luck. In any case, she was happy on Instagram with the statements: "3/3. Everything is brilliant". Now keep your fingers crossed for the young lady that a winner's trophy will shine in her hands again soon.
