Emma Raducanu A few years ago he was called to become one of the great stars of the tennis planet. Her 2019 US Open title, at just nineteen years old, catapulted her to the covers of the entire world, becoming a child prodigy and a woman with the options to mark an era on the women’s circuit.

Nothing could be further from reality. Since then, between injuries and ups and downs, Raducanu has yet to come close to the level he showed last summer. Although, above all, the British woman has not been happy for many years in her relationship with tennis. As he said in an interview with ‘The Times’, the great pressure placed on him by his parents greatly influenced what happened later and caused him not to live tennis with the necessary passion.

“When I was young, My father forced me to play tennis. i didn’t like it, But as I got older it started to become a priority in my life and I started to put pressure on myself,” Raducanu revealed.

Over time, the British woman found her place. “We’re at a different moment in our relationship. They tell me what they think is best for me, although they realize that the more they push me, the more I move away from them,” Raducanu confessed.
