Emma Raducanu Press Conference | 2021 US Open Final

Emma Raducanu speaks to the Press, fresh from her astonishing victory in the final of the 2021 US Open.

The 2021 US Open main draw runs from August 30 - September 12 in New York City at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The tournament takes place for the 141st time and is the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year. Dominic Thiem is the men’s singles defending champion but has withdrawn following an injury. Naomi Osaka is the women’s singles defending champion and will be aiming to claim the title for the third time in four years. Meanwhile, No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic looks to complete the calendar Grand Slam after winning the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon already this year. Should the Serbian lift the title here for the fifth time, he will also overtake Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to become the first-ever man to win 21 Grand Slam singles titles. With full capacity crowds back again, it’s time for the greatest return!

The talent, the brains, the looks, the classy British accent, the personality... Her sponsorship deals and endorsements are going to be insane!

So basically she’s a supermodel who is extremely articulate, humble, and an amazing tennis player.

Emma remains humble. It is a positive quality.

Her poise and maturity on and off the court is impressive for any age, and she's just 18. Absolutely incredible.

This has to go down as one of the most amazing Grand Slam wins ever. 18 years old, rank 150, 20 sets to 0. Incredible

[feroz]

What makes her achievement even more remarkable is that she achieved two "A"s in Maths and Economics at A-level while preparing for Wimbledon and the US Open. Brains and talent!

[andrewhaynes]

We can talk about her tennis ability for hours but what’s incredible is the class this Young woman shows. I hope young ladies look up to her beyond her athletic ability she’s a class act. Something the world needs. Parents you guys are also the winners here

[adrodog]

Her temperament and mental clarity in her matches is immense. I can’t imagine being 18 and being able to deal with that pressure. Leylah was great as well, with them both being so young I hated that one of them had to lose

[ps.maximilianostange]

She was born to shine! What a star she is 😍

[annechan]

Once in a while, we are lucky enough to witness to watch someone special. Emma Raducanu is that special someone who we hope will continue to keep bringing on such great moments!

What a mature, humble and centred attitude she has. Also that she focuses on the present moment and is not attached to outcomes helped her to succeed.

[TechWizz]

The poise, grace, maturity is amazing to see at only 18. Speaks volumes about her upbringing too. Amazing talent and the future looks bright. If only we could get more breakout stars on the ATP.
