Andy Murray accepts that he is jealous of Emma Raducanu

In a recent promotional video for Vienna Open, Murray admitted that he is a little bit jealous of the US Open 2021 winner, Emma Raducanu. He stated that he is very envious of the fact that the 18-year-old can speak fluent Mandarin while he can’t do that.

“I would love to speak Spanish because I think if you speak Spanish and English it is brilliant. However, I feel like that is very achievable, but one that isn’t is Mandarin. I saw Emma Raducanu speaking Mandarin after she won the US Open and I was very jealous of that,” said Murray.

Raducanu has connections with China since her mother hails from that country. It is because of this reason that she is fluent in Mandarin and gave a message in the language after lifting the US Open 2021 title.

In the same video, Murray said that he would love to be able to speak fluent Spanish. Learning Mandarin seems a bridge too far for the Brit, as he admitted it is very difficult to learn.

“Yeah, I’d probably say Mandarin because I don’t think it is something that I would be able to learn whereas Spanish if I dedicated enough time to it, I could probably do it,” added the 3-time Grand Slam champion.
