In the women's singles arena of the US Open, a youth storm struck. The storm was sparked by Emma Raducannu, an 18-year-old talented girl. In the women's singles final staged on September 11, Beijing time, she defeated youngster Fernandez 2-0 and won the trophy for the first time in her career to participate in the US Open.
While reaching the top, she also set many historical records: the first qualifier in Grand Slam history to win a title, the first British player to win the WOMEN's Singles title in the US Open in 53 years, the youngest Grand Slam winner since Sharapova in 2004...
On September 11, 2021, at the women's singles final of the 2021 US Open in New York, USA, Raducano defeated Fernandez 2-0 to win the first Grand Slam title of his career.
Let all the audience shine
The fledgling Radukanu has become a dazzling new star, and for the entire British tennis world, her appearance is tantamount to a burst of tonic, becoming an incentive for many new generations of players. Not long ago at Wimbledon, Raducannu had already stunned the tennis world, when she, as a young player who played in the Grand Slam main tournament for the first time, passed the level and reached the round of 16, which made all the spectators shine.
When she came to the US Open, her performance brought greater surprises. Counting the three rounds of qualifying, she won 10 consecutive games at the US Open, and in these 10 matches she did not lose any set, showing absolute strength.
Even in 7 main matches, she lost only 34 innings, an average of less than 5 innings per game. Whether it's the quarter-finals against 11th-seeded Bencic or the semi-finals against 17th-seeded Sakari, she's in control of the rhythm of the game.
'I never expected to hit here, I was going to go home after the qualifying rounds. But in the end she reached the top, "which shows the depth of the sport, and every player in the women's singles table has a chance to win the championship." ”
Focusing on herself is the secret of her perfect performance along the way, as she said before the final, "I didn't think about anything else, just focused on myself." ”
On the eve of the start of the 2021 US Open, Radulkanu prepares for training.
He is half Chinese
As an adult, at the Grand Slam arena, Raducano's path to growth unsurprisingly piqued the interest of the entire tennis world. Interestingly, the supernova who carries the hopes of the British women's tennis world is actually not a native of the British parents. Raducanu's father is a Romanian who works in the financial industry, and his mother is from Shenyang, China, also working in the financial industry.
Raducannu was born in Canada and moved to the UK with his family at the age of 2. At the age of 5, Raducannu picked up a tennis racket, and she also enjoyed table tennis, swimming, ballet and many other sports. Radukanu is also very interested in Chinese culture, and she has repeatedly visited Shenyang to reunite with her grandmother and other relatives, during which she will also go to the table tennis hall to practice. Originally, she was also ready to go to Shenyang to meet her grandmother after a few rounds of the us open, but her excellent performance "disrupted" this plan.
Raducannu's tennis icons are China's Li Na and Romania's Halep, who once said that Li Na's "aggressive" style of play impressed her: "She will not miss any opportunity." Raducannu once said that the influence of the family is also one of the success factors of his own: "My mother is from China, they are very confident, and self-confidence is not necessarily to tell everyone how good you are, but to believe in your own heart, and I respect this culture." 」 ”
"Youth is one of my weapons"
Before wimbledon this year, Radulcanu was only ranked 338th in the world, and now with her outstanding performances at two Grand Slam tournaments, she has "scheduled" to become the highest ranking woman in the UNITED Kingdom after the END of the US Open.
At the moment, she is still a high school student, and she spends a lot of time completing her homework in addition to training competition time, and sometimes even writing homework on the side of the training ground. Now, from a nameless youngster to a British "first sister", Radukanu's outburst can only be described as stunning, and she herself is enjoying such an upward path.
"Youth is one of my weapons, and I'm very happy to have one." She confessed, "In this way, I can play completely as a challenger and completely let go of myself." ”
On September 13, 2021, New York, USA, US Open St. Champion Raducano attended the 2021 MetGala Fashion Celebration at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
"You can only experience this level of play and batting when you are playing against the top players, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have such a match against the masters, and you can learn so many things in the fight with them."
However, for Raducannu, the attention and pressure she faces after becoming famous will also be a new challenge for her. In fact, after reaching the round of 16 at Wimbledon and then retiring due to injury, Raducannu felt the pressure of the outside world and even encountered some doubts. To adjust herself, she rested for about a month.
Bencic, who recently lost to Radukanu, also confessed that he hopes that people can care about these talented girls: "I hope that everyone can take care of them, do not put too much pressure on them, and let them grow up quietly." "For Raducannu, after gaining achievements and fame early, the road ahead still needs to be taken step by step.
And she herself is ready to create a new era with more young people: "I hope that young players can follow in the footsteps of tennis legends, such as Billy Jane King, and the top players of the moment." 」 ”
British media : China supports Radukanu
According to British media reports, after Radukanu won the championship, it had a huge response in the Chinese netizen group. Born in Canada to a Romanian father and Chinese mother, Raducano moved to London with his parents at the age of two.
On Weibo, the Chinese website, many praised the 18-year-old girl, calling her a "Northeastern girl" because her mother was from Shenyang, China. A video of Raducannu thanking fans in Mandarin also went viral. A Weibo comment read: "She spoke like a 'Northeastern girl.'" It's amazing! ”
Raducannu has previously spoken openly about her pedigree in interviews, which Chinese netizens are proud of. She said she traveled to China a lot and that one of her idols was Li Na. I was so moved," wrote one Weibo user, who referred to the famous former Chinese tennis player Li Na. Some netizens also compared her to Rainie Yang, a Taiwanese pop star, and someone posted: "We must support Rainie Yang on the tennis court." ”
In the interview, Raducannu paid tribute to her mother and family. "They're mentally resilient — nothing seems to disappoint them," she said. I would say that a big part of my inspiration came from my mother, who works very hard. She added that she learned discipline and respect for others from her mom. The 18-year-old girl, who returned to her hometown in Shenyang several times during the festival, also said that her favorite thing is to watch Chinese TV dramas.
