US Open champion Emma Raducanu has given parents a chance to “take care” of her $ 2.5 million prize

Emma Raducanu rose from humble beginnings to win the 2021 U.S. Open, becoming the first woman to win a Grand Slam women’s singles title. The 18-year-old manages his $ 2.5 million profit in the same way.

In an interview with the BBC, Raducanu said he would give his parents permission to manage the US Open money, and has yet to check whether the funds will reach his bank account. When the money arrives, Raducanu is confident that his tennis fame will continue to grow.

“I will leave that to my parents,” said Raducanu, the 23rd-ranked player in the world. “They can take that for me.”

“I haven’t done anything or bought anything yet,” he added. “I know tennis is an expensive sport. Everything, travel and expenses. It’s probably going to go that way. I don’t really think about it in terms of money. I know there are a lot of taxes and expenses.”

Raducanu may not have spent much since her He beat Leylah Fernandez on Sept. 12, but is still taking advantage of the focus provided by a U.S. Open title. Britain was at the Met Gala on Monday in New York with sports stars like Naomi Osaka, Serena Williams, Simone Biles, Stephen Curry and Russell Westrbrook.

On Thursday, Raducanu returned to his hometown of Bromley, and returned to Britain for the first time in 44 years since becoming the country’s women’s Grand Slam women’s champion. The celebration, however, did not match the size of Raducanu’s achievement.

“My mom did some really good home-made dumplings, but there was nothing crazy or excessive about it,” Raducanu said.

Raducanu has had a low but fruitful return to Britain. He spoke to Boris Johnson about his win at the US Open on the phone, telling the UK Prime Minister that his success will accelerate the growth of the game within the country. Raducanu also saw his last win at the US Open and felt the nerves in his spine for the first time. 3.4 million TV viewers he had a live.

“I actually watched the final again and tried to live it for a couple of moments and remember how it felt, so it’s sinking a little more,” Raducanu said. “It’s funny, when I was watching it, it almost didn’t hit me and it felt like I was taking some of those shots, I think it’s someone else. I knew exactly what was going to happen but it’s still a very tense moment. And, looking back, I’m very proud. I was going through some tough moments as well [medical] the time limit at the end – I didn’t realize how stressful that was compared to live on TV. ”

Raducanu told the BBC that he hopes to place his US Open trophy “in front and in the middle” somewhere in his home and that he can create a “nice exhibition” for it. He can arguably pay $ 2.5 million for all the shelf supplies he needs, so maybe that will be his first purchase as a Grand Slam winner – if his parents give him permission.
