British tennis player Emma Radukanu refused to participate in the Kremlin Cup. Reported by The Guardian.
The 18-year-old athlete withdrew from the tournament, citing a schedule change. “I will not be able to go to court in Moscow this year, but I hope that I will be able to perform with Russian fans next year,” admitted Radukanu.
On September 12, Radukanu became the winner of the US Open. In the US Open finals, she outplayed Canada’s Leila Annie Fernandez. After her triumph in the United States, Radukanu skyrocketed in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings. Now the Briton is considered the 22nd racket in the world.
In addition, the Briton went down in the history of world tennis: before her, none of the participants in the Grand Slam tournaments had managed to reach the final from qualifying. Radukanu started her professional career in 2018.
