As I sit down to write this letter, I am filled with a mix of emotions – gratitude, humility, and a sense of responsibility. The past year has been a whirlwind, and I am still trying to process the incredible journey I’ve been on. From rising through the junior ranks to winning the US Open title at just 18 years old, it’s been an experience that I will always cherish.
As I look back on my journey, I am reminded of the countless hours of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice that have brought me to where I am today. From early morning training sessions to endless drills and conditioning exercises, every moment has been a crucial step towards achieving my dreams.
But I didn’t get here alone. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my coaches, family, friends, and everyone who has supported me along the way. Your unwavering belief in me has given me the confidence to push myself to new heights.
As a professional tennis player, I’ve had the privilege of competing against some of the best players in the world. And while it’s intimidating at times, it’s also an incredible honor to be part of this global community of athletes who share a passion for the sport.
I’ve often been asked about my experiences as a young woman in tennis, and how I navigate the challenges that come with being in the public eye. My answer is simple: it’s not easy, but it’s worth it. The sacrifices are immense, but the rewards are immeasurable.
As I look to the future, I know that there will be ups and downs ahead. There will be times when I’ll feel overwhelmed by the pressure and scrutiny. But I also know that with every setback comes an opportunity to learn and grow.
To my fellow tennis players, I want to say that we’re not just athletes – we’re ambassadors for our sport. We have a responsibility to conduct ourselves with integrity, sportsmanship, and respect for one another. Let’s continue to lift each other up and support each other on and off the court.
And to those who may be inspired by my journey – whether you’re a young player or simply someone who loves tennis – I want to say that anything is possible if you work hard enough and believe in yourself. Don’t be afraid to dream big and chase your passions with reckless abandon.
In closing, I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported me on this incredible journey. It’s an honor to be part of this global tennis community, and I look forward to many more years of playing the game we all love.
With appreciation,
Emma Raducanu
