Emma Raducanu (born 13 November 2002) is a British professional tennis player. She has reached a career-high singles ranking of world No. 10. In 2026, she is the British No. 2 in women's singles, having reached three main tour finals.
Raducanu was the 2021 US Open champion, and she was the first British woman to win a major in singles since Virginia Wade at the 1977 Wimbledon Championships. At that US Open edition, she became the first qualifier in the Open era to win a singles major title, beating Leylah Fernandez in the final without dropping a set during the tournament. It was the second Grand Slam tournament of her career, and she holds the Open-era record for the fewest majors played before winning a title.
Raducanu also achieved a best doubles ranking of No. 259 on 8 June 2026.
