Established players and legends like Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and Naomi Osaka are well-known for their charity and kindness. They all have their own foundation and are committed to giving back to society. Present-generation player Coco Gauff, who idolizes the Williams sisters, is also doing her part in creating a better space for the world to live in. Iga Swiatek organized a tennis event last year and donated that money to a mental health charity.
Emma Raducanu, who has been away from Tennis for a considerably long time, never fails to amaze people. For a young adult to be mature, kind, and humble when they are hit with obstacles is a great talent, and the Brit proved it with her humanity.

Emma Raducanu wins hearts with her kind gesture toward a couple
It was drizzling in London yesterday, and while some enjoyed it, people traveling by public transport, especially senior citizens, found it difficult to make their way through the rain. Raducanu was out with her mother and donned a hoodie, a look that she is opting for these days, probably to be less recognizable or just to feel cozy and warm.
An elderly couple reached their stop when it was drizzling, and they struggled to help each other. This is where the British sensation stepped in. She spotted the struggle, walked to them, and offered to help. The elderly lady was pleased with the young Tennis prodigy for her humane action.

Raducanu even chatted with the couple, and according to the ‘Sun,’ the couple seemed to be unaware of the Brit’s fame. Maybe that is what helped in a smooth and genuine flow of conversation, as people tend to get surprised or even anxious when they spot a celebrity. Almost every player has an idol, and the Brit once revealed who her idol is. The Tennis legend is famous for her achievements and also for her charity work.

The British sensation is living up to the bar set by her idol
The former British number one looks up to Li Na. They even share the same ethnicity, but Raducanu does not want people to think this is a reason for her idolizing the Chinese player. She said it was a coincidence and that she admired her intensity and athleticism. Li Na is now a retired professional and has two Grand Slams to her name.
The Chinese professional was quite active during the 2020 Pandemic and offered financial support. The former Chinese No. 1 is a native of Wuhan and an ambassador of a charity foundation. She donated through the foundation to provide the necessary equipment to control the situation.

Raducanu chose her idol cleverly, and despite her success at such a young age, she is humble. She reportedly did not make an effort to introduce herself as the Grand Slam champion. With intentions as pure as hers, she now became an idol to many with her compassion and resilience as she is now gearing up to get back to the game as soon as her body is ready.
