Raducanu: “Sometimes I think to myself I wish I’d never won the US Open”

The Hindu  

Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu said she sometimes wishes she had not won the Grand Slam due to the pressure that came with the success and instant fame. “That moment on the court, when I was celebrating, I was like, I would literally trade any struggle in the world for this moment,” Raducanu told the Sunday Times. And sometimes I think to myself I wish I’d never won the US Open.” The win came with praise but also exposed Raducanu to a previously unknown world, often ruthless and paved with expectations. I have learnt, keep your circle as small as possible.” Raducanu missed this year’s French Open and will be absent from Wimbledon too while she recovers from surgery on her wrists and ankle.
