Emma Raducanu: US Open champion wins Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year | Tennis News

Emma Raducanu triumphed in the women’s singles at the US Open to claim her first Grand Slam

Emma Raducanu has been named Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year following her historic triumph at the 2021 US Open.

The 19-year-old rose to worldwide prominence with her sensational September triumph as she became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam singles title – and the first British woman to win one since Virginia Wade in 1977.

It was just her second Grand Slam appearance following her debut at Wimbledon, where she reached the fourth round – becoming the youngest British woman to progress to the last 16 in the Open era.

Raducanu, who is currently 19th in the WTA world rankings, won the award ahead of fellow nominees Emily Campbell (weightlifting), Kate French (modern pentathlon), Laura Kenny (cycling), Lauren Price (boxing), and Sarah Storey (cycling).

Greg Rusedski says Emma Raducanu shouldn't put too much pressure on herself as she adjusts to life on the WTA Tour.
