Emma Raducanu MBE (/ˌræduˈkɑːnuː/ RAD-oo-KAH-noo,[3] Romanian: [rədu'kanu];[4] born 13 November 2002) is a British professional tennis player. She reached a career-high ranking of No. 10 by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) on 11 July 2022, and is a former British No. 1. Raducanu is the first British woman to win a Grand Slam singles title since Virginia Wade at the 1977 Wimbledon Championships.[5]
With a wildcard entry at Wimbledon, ranked outside the top 300, she reached the fourth round at her first major tournament. At the 2021 US Open, Raducanu became the first qualifier in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam singles title, beating Leylah Fernandez in the final without dropping a set during the tournament. It was the second major tournament of her career, and she holds the Open Era record for the fewest majors played before winning a title.
