Now comes hard part for champ RaducanuSome may regard the British reaction to the stunning, success of Emma Raducanu as being a bit over the top … and they would be partly right. Like Raducanu, she was born in Canada with her father from Ecuador and mother a Filipina. She pushed Raducanu all the way and the 6-4, 6-3scoreline did not fully reflect the closeness of the match. Raducanu has already appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine and in assorted American TV talk shows. There was inevitably also much emphasis on the financial rewards awaiting Raducanu with speculation that she could become the first British billion-dollar sports star.
