Andy Murray: Emma Raducanu is in situation that is extremely difficult to navigate

Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray says he feels for Emma Raducanu as she is still very young and is definitely in a situation that is “extremely difficult to navigate.” Raducanu, 19, made all the headlines at the US Open last year when she became the first qualifier in tennis history to win a Grand Slam.

Since her US Open victory, Raducanu has landed several lucrative endorsement and sponsorship deals as she is now the face of some of the world’s leading brands such as Dior, Tiffany, Channel, etc. Apart from being one of the most marketable athletes in the world, Raducanu is facing a great level of expectation and pressure every time she steps onto the court.

For over a decade, Murray was constantly under the spotlight of the British media. However, he never experienced what Raducanu has experienced – to become a major superstar basically overnight.
