Emma Raducanu winning Wimbledon 'a matter of when' not if as confident Brit speaks out
Emma Raducanu made a confident statement ahead of Wimbledon.
Emma Raducanu claims that winning Wimbledon is “a matter of when” not if. In a confident statement, the Brit shared her belief that she will one day lift the trophy at her home Grand Slam tournament.
The 21-year-old broke through at Wimbledon back in 2021 as a wildcard, reaching the second week while ranked outside of the world’s top 300.
She followed it up by winning the US Open as a qualifier later that year and she is now targeting her second Major crown.
