CNN —After winning the US Open at just 18 years old, Emma Raducanu had the world at her feet.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Raducanu touched on the side of sporting success that many don’t see and the impact it has had on her.
“When I won I was extremely naive,” Raducanu admitted.
Raducanu won the 2021 US Open, becoming the first qualifier to win the major, after defeating Canadian Leylah Fernandez 6-4 6-3 in Flushing Meadows’ first all-teen final since 1999.
And sometimes I think to myself I wish I’d never won the US Open, I wish that didn’t happen,” Raducanu acknowledged.
