Emma Raducanu 'mentored' by Harry Kane after seeking career advice from England captain

Tennis star Emma Raducanu has sought the advice of Harry Kane as she bids to recapture the stunning form that saw her capture the 2021 US Open.

In September last year, the 19-year-old pulled off arguably the most remarkable Grand Slam story of all time, sauntering through the qualifying rounds before reaching the final at Flushing Meadows without even dropping a set. There, she beat fellow teen Leylah Fernandez to become the first British woman to capture a Slam since Virginia Wade won Wimbledon in 1977.

The victory elevated her to superstardom, and congratulatory messages came in from far and wide. She's struggled to hit the same heights in 2022, but has revealed that being mentored by the England captain has helped her amid her recent struggles for form and fitness, reports The Athletic.
