Emma Raducanu (/ˌrædəˈkɑːn/; RAD-ə-KAH-noo;[3] born 13 November 2002) is a British tennis player.[4] She is the current women's singles US Open champion. She won it without losing a set in the tournament.[5]

Raducanu has a career-high singles ranking of world #10, and is the current female Britsh number 1.[6] Before she played at Wimbledon in 2021, her highest WTA singles ranking was #333, on 9 March 2020. She has won three singles titles on the ITF Circuit.

She was awarded a Member of the Order of the British Empire on 29 November 2022 by King Charles III for her service to tennis.

Personal life

Raducanu was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to a Romanian father and a Chinese mother, who both work in finance. Her family moved to London when she was aged two because they thought it would be an exciting place for her to grow up.[7] She started playing tennis at the age of five at the Bromley Tennis Academy. She was a pupil at Newstead Wood School, a state grammar school in the London Borough of Bromley.[8]
