Emma Raducanu, Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff sent brutal message by fans
Novak Djokovic, Emma Raducanu and Coco Gauff have all been sent messages they will not like by Express Sport readers, with poll results labelling the stars overrated and past their primes. Each of the trio has faced mixed results this year, and will hope for improvement over their coming tournaments.
An overwhelming 89 per cent of readers voted that Coco Gauff is not the most talented teenage tennis star of all time, despite the American enjoying a solid start to the 2024 season. Gauff enjoyed a semi-final appearance at the Australian Open and win at the Auckland Open at the start of the year, but her season is tainted by a second-round exit at the hands of 42nd-ranked Katerina Siniakova at the Qatar Open.
Despite the world No. 3 having won seven WTA Tour singles finals, including the U.S. Open in 2023, the ‘most talented teenage tennis star’ label is a tough one to crack. Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal make strong cases, with both also winning their first major titles as teenagers.
According to 83 per cent of readers, Emma Raducanu is no better now than when she won the U.S. Open in 2022. The 21-year-old was missing from action for much of the 2023 season, having suffered ankle and wrist injuries, but made her professional return as a wildcard entry at the Auckland Open in January.
