Emma ‘has calm beyond her years’

FORMER British tennis star Annabel Croft says Emma Raducanu may only be 18 years old but she is an “old soul”. “I first met her when she was 12 and she was this bundle of joy. But she literally has everything,” the now presenter told the audience at last night’s Telegraph Sports Book Awards in Oval. Croft, who also competed at the US Open, said as well as “Andy Murray gritty competitiveness”, Raducanu has a “serenity of the face and calmness of spirit”. Faultless.
