The top tweets Emma Raduancu will cherish from a remarkable 2021
She has been the stand-out star on the women’s tour in 2021, with Emma Raducanu doubtless looking back on the last year with a sense of bewilderment.
The teenager started the year as an unknown hopeful, wondering whether her A-Levels would still be on amid the Covid crisis and with only a few British tennis experts talking up her hopes of breaking into the world’s top 100.
So are A Levels happening?

Little did they know that she would shatter the glass ceiling in the game in stunning fashion as she made the fourth round at Wimbledon, won the US Open in sensational fashion and ended the year at No.19 in the WTA rankings.
Her success has turned Raducanu into an international superstar and here is the Tennis365 list of memorable tweets that have come her way this year:
'I have no doubt your outstanding performance, and that of your opponent Leylah Fernandez, will inspire the next generation of tennis players.'

A star is born- Emma Raducanu makes history – never has a qualifier won a major- men or women- and she is just getting started. And will never have to qualify again:)
Leylah Fernandez will be back -both are champions but Emma has the trophy- well done!!!#USOpen— Martina Navratilova (@Martina) September 11, 2021
