Emma Raducanu Height, Weight, Age, Body Statistics

Emma Raducanu is a British professional tennis player who had first come into the spotlight in July 2021 when she had reached the 4th round at the Wimbledon Championships. What had made her achievement astounding was the fact that this was her debut in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament and she was only ranked a lowly 338 in the world in the official WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) singles rankings at that time. Later in the year, she had turned heads when she had won the US Open, becoming the first qualifier in the Open Era, male or female, to reach the singles final of a Grand Slam tournament. Incredibly, on her way to the final, she had not dropped a set in any of the 3 qualifying matches and any of the 6 main draw matches (round 1, round 2, round 3, round of 16, quarter-final, and semi-final). In the final, she had again won in straight sets, overcoming fellow teenage sensation Leylah Annie Fernandez by a score of 6-4, 6-3. This was the first all-teenage women’s singles final since the 1999 US Open final that was played between Serena Williams and Martina Hingis.
