Grand Slam breakthrough
Emma Raducanu announced herself on the world stage at the 2021 US Open, where she became the first qualifier in the Open era to win a Grand Slam singles title. The run made her the first British woman to claim a major singles crown since Virginia Wade in 1977.
Career highlights
Raducanu's rise was rapid. She reached the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2021 in her Grand Slam debut, then went on to win the US Open later that year. She has since competed across the WTA Tour, building a reputation for a composed baseline game and a sharp return of serve.
Playing style and presence
Known for her athletic movement and clean ball-striking, Raducanu has drawn attention both on and off the court. Her matches regularly headline the sport's biggest stages, and her profile extends beyond tennis into fashion and brand partnerships.
