    She's so polished, like a perfect princess. And she has the heart and determination of a champion. What a remarkable person.

    A class act and balanced young lady. Its so refreshing to see innocence and level of maturity at a tender age. Best wishes in future endeavors.
  • It seems that she is her authentic self and I love that about her. Congratulations to her parents as well.  Love from, America

    She is just so real being herself. Congrats Emma.
  • @kingstumble
    I wouldn't worry too much about Emma being able to deal with anything that may be thrown at her. I think she has a wise old head on those young shoulders.
  • @jdg62269
    I love this young lady. She represents every reason to watch tennis! She's so humble.
  • Important to let her be a kid. The press are going to rip her apart every time she's having fun in her time of on a beach with a bit or in a bar at 2am. You're so happy for her and so worried about what's to come. The fact she's turned her phone of and not eating up comments is a great sign

    Greatest achievement in Tennis. Congratulations Emma 👏🏽

    I watched her at Wimbledon and she was good. You could see champion written all over her. On the day she withdrew she was unwell which was a great shame but I knew she was one to watch. Well done Emma. Xxx
  • @SDvids
    what on earth... she is so eloquent and she knows exactly how to answer ANY question the best way possible. I mean, I don’t think I can do that and I’m 30

    The lady displayed a great deal of poise during the interview - definitely a class act. Well done, Ms. Raducanu!
  • Amazed at the level of maturity this girl possesses. Her mental strength is beyond belief and her character in terms respecting her opponents, even the one who was shouting on her head while she was given medical treatment. Out of this world. May God continues to bless her.
  • Amazing performance Emma. Your answers reflect your winning mindset .So humble and confident. Love and respect from Angola
