Emma Raducanu's coach claims 'sky is the limit' as Brit plots another Wimbledon shock
Wimbledon teen sensation Emma Raducanu was “born to play tennis” and has the drive to reach the top of the game, according to her coach Nigel Sears. “I think the sky’s the limit,” claimed Andy Murray’s father-in-law.
Smiling Raducanu, 18, has gone from A level student to instant star by reaching the Wimbledon third round on her Grand Slam debut.
The only British woman left in the singles draw will take on Romanian world No 45 Sorana Cirstea on Saturday as a new crowd favourite.
And Sears insisted world No 338 Raducanu will be a name fans will be talking about for years to come.
The former Fed Cup captain said: “She’s handled this superbly – I couldn’t ask for any more. She is a very smart girl, and very grounded.
“She’s very ambitious, and she thinks big, which is one of the things I really liked about her when I first met her some years back. I just think she’s born to play tennis and she likes the stage, and she’s eating it up.”
