- Raducanu believes that women's skills deserve equal prize money to men.
Emma Raducanu thinks women tennis players are very good but don't get enough money compared to men. She won the US Open when she was 18 but had some trouble after that. She said women players are better technically. She also said it's not fair that men get more money in tennis. She thinks it's better for women to play three sets instead of five like men do. Emma Raducanu's success has brought her many deals with big companies like British Airways, Porsche, Evian, Nike, and HSBC. She says her parents pushed her a lot when she was young, and that helped her become successful. She had to deal with injuries and had a hard time mentally during her recovery. She had to stop doing many things she used to do easily. Raducanu believes that women players are often better technically than men. She thinks the prize money difference between men and women in tennis is too big and not fair. The French Open gives equal money to both men and women winners, but other tournaments don't. For example, the Italian Open pays less to the female champion compared to the male champion. Raducanu is getting ready for the French Open after taking a break from playing. She has faced criticism for her social media posts but says people don't see the hard work she puts in behind the scenes. She has made a lot of money from sponsorship deals and credits her family for her strong work ethic. Her parents were strict when she was young, but she appreciates their support and believes it helped her succeed.
