A closer look at Emma Raducanu amid Wimbledon success

:Headline: A closer look at Emma Raducanu amid Wimbledon success:
The Brit is through to the third round at the All England Club.

Emma Raducanu's dream Wimbledon debut continued as she made it through to the third round.

The 18-year-old is the last Brit standing in the women's draw after beating 2019 French Open finalist Marketa Vondrousova 6-2 6-4.

Here, the PA news agency takes a closer look at Raducanu.

Educating Emma

This summer is not all about Wimbledon for Raducanu as she is awaiting results for her A Levels. She has been combining her studies with her tennis over the last 12 months, choosing not to travel to lower-level tournaments abroad, and sat exams in maths and economics at Newstead School. Despite her intelligence, Raducanu insists she is focused on a career in tennis.

Mixed heritage

It is incredible to think that Raducanu only made her first WTA Tour main draw appearance last month at the Nottingham Open. She lost 6-4 6-3 to compatriot Harriet Dart in the first round before making the quarter-finals of a lower-level tournament at the same venue the following week. That persuaded Wimbledon to offer her a wild card into the main draw and the rest is history.

Success at an early age

She has some sort of form at Wimbledon, having made it to the 2018 juniors quarter-finals where she came up against future French Open winner Iga Swiatek. Raducanu followed that up with a run to the same stage of the US Open juniors a few months later. She won the first ITF junior title she was allowed to compete in, aged just 13.
