A recent incident revealed to the fans that British former US Open champion Emma Raducanu is just like us. Raducanu defeated Caroline Garcia at the Bille Jean King Cup tournament’s qualifier round.

However, that is not the talk of the topic for today.
While taking down Garcia at the court, Raducanu made a silly mistake and brought a short moment of laughter to the court. However, quick-witted Raducanu managed her mistake and adorably smiled through her marvelous comeback victory.

Raducanu pulled off a great victory by 6-3 and 6-2 against France. This British former US Open champion has advanced in the qualifying tie 1-1 after her teammate Katie Boulter was defeated by France’s Diane Parry. Since this WTA star had a rough time last year, she is the lowest rank-holder player in Team Britain. However, her victory against Garcia motivated her and made her confident. Raducanu commented- “I’m very pleased with my performances and to bring this point home for the team, I definitely turned it around, I fought really hard, I dug in and that was a really good test for myself as I haven’t had those level matches very often.”
Raducanu spoke about playing against Caroline Garcia-“It’s very difficult to play against Caroline who has been having such good runs and many good seasons. I was completely the underdog coming out here in her house, on clay.”
