Emma Raducanu is one of Britain’s best young athletes. In her short career she’s already had major success and has amassed some significant earnings.
After turning professional in 2018 Raducanu shot to fame after reaching the fourth round in last year’s Wimbledon.
But it was her 2021 US Open victory which brought her global fame.

Her US Open victory made her the first woman to win a Grand Slam as a qualifier.
Raducanu’s meteoric rise is illustrated by the fact that in less than a year she has gone from being given a wildcard spot at Wimbledon 2021 (due to her being outside the top 300 at the time) to achieving a world ranking of number 11 in April 2022.
Despite being just 19 has already won the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year award and earned an MBE in the 2022 New Year Honours.
