Break point: Emma Raducanu enjoys first holiday in seven years
Emma Raducanu has been enjoying her “only holiday in seven years” ahead of her first match on home soil since her US Open victory.
The 19-year-old is the star attraction this Sunday as tennis bids farewell to 24 years of annual matches at the unlikely destination of the Royal Albert Hall.
Ahead of her appearance at the sold-out event, she declared on her social media channels that she was “feeling so ready and pumped for pre-season” thanks to her long-awaited break.
The teenager, who has enjoyed a whirlwind first season in professional tennis since finishing her A-levels, has spent the past week on a beach holiday.
Her team has kept her destination a strict secret, but she has posted pictures of herself in recent days on the coast and also enjoying jet-skiing.
She had said prior to the trip that she had not been on holiday since her parents took her to Switzerland seven years ago.
