She believes the 18-year-old has achieved something amazing. The four-time grand slam winner, Clijsters, stated, “She’s so innocent and natural out there.”

Clijsters not only congratulated Raducanu, but she also gave her some advice. She feels that after winning a grand slam, people around you change. People expect more from you all of a sudden. The Belgian advises Emma to “not to get sucked into the fakeness of that kind of world.” When you win a major event, your entire world changes. The money, interviews, and notoriety are all attractive. However, Clijsters urged Emma not to get sidetracked as it might drain her energy.
