Emma Raducanu has made a young fan’s dreams come true by training and playing tennis with her after the girl was spotted in the crowd days before.

The tennis star has had an interesting summer having played at several tournaments prior to competing at the US Open next week.

She took part in Wimbledon back in July but saw herself crash out in the fourth round after a defeat to Lulu Sun.

Raducanu then travelled to Washington to compete in the WTA 500 event there but lost to Paula Badosa in the quarter-final.

After a quick trip to Henley, Oxfordshire, the tennis pro travelled back to the United States to train ahead of the tournament next week.

Yet in one of the stadiums, she spotted a young fan in the stands who said that Raducanu was her favourite player.

The 21-year-old posted on X: “To the little girl far up in the stands who said I was her favourite player at this morning's practice, I heard you and it made my heart smile.

“I’m very sorry I had to rush off after practice and I couldn’t see you near the court but please forgive me and I hope to find a way to meet you or arrange a signed something or photo.”

Raducanu came good with her promise and met the girl, Remy, proceeding to play tennis with the young fan.

Posting a photo together on Instagram, Raducanu said: “Thank you for coming back today and it was so nice meeting you at practice today and hitting a few balls (she didn’t miss).”
