EMMA RADUCANU is facing her latest Grand Slam challenge RIGHT NOW!
Raducanu is hoping to build on her 2021 US Open win with a triumph at Wimbledon.
And she’ll have her parents in her corner cheering her on.
Who are Emma Raducanu’s parents?
Though Raducanu is a British citizen, her parents aren’t of British descent.
Raducanu moved to the UK as a two-year-old, having been born in Ontario, Canada.
Her dad Ian is Romanian and her mum Renee is Chinese.
Both Ian and Renee are finance industry professionals and have been living in Bromley in Greater London since 2004.
It was in Bromley where Raducanu first started to play tennis at a local tennis academy.
Dad Ian encouraged his daughter to trial different activities, hobbies and sports as a youngster before she finally settled on tennis.
Raducanu has previously spoken of the importance of her father’s no-nonsense attitude to competition.
“They have been pushy to an extent,” she explained about her parents.
“Not just in tennis but in everything. I think that I’ve developed that mentality since a young age.”
Both Ian and Renee can often be seen watching their daughter’s matches, but they were not present at her US Open win due to Covid travel restrictions.
