World No. 4 tennis star Paula Badosa has called for people ‘to stop’ piling the pressure on teenage sensation Emma Raducanu ahead of this month’s Wimbledon. Raducanu shot to fame last September, after becoming US Open champion at just 18-years-old after starting the event as a qualifier.
Unsurprisingly her historic win has thrown her into the public limelight, despite still being in the very early stages of her professional career. With the added attention of course comes extra pressures, and this has only mounted in recent months.
Fellow star Badosa, however, has urged those watching on to lay off Raducanu ahead of the teenager’s eagerly anticipated home Grand Slam event at SW19.
