The video begins with a question asking Raducanu to name three dream guests she would like to invite for dinner. The Brit in reply mentioned legendary basketball player Michael Jordan, and claimed that he has been a source of inspiration for her.
An ardent Formula One fan, Raducanu also named Australian F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo as another of her dream dinner guests. The last in her list is Tom Keene, a radio and television analyst in business and economics at Bloomberg.
The 18-year-old then revealed that her first tennis autograph was of compatriot and former player Anne Keothavong. Raducanu first met Keothavong during the London Youth Games, and in 2020 she played under the captaincy of the 38-year-old at the Billie Jean King Cup.
Emma Raducanu was then asked to name the last Whatsapp group she joined. She replied that the group’s name was “Almond Croissant” and that it included her physio and fitness trainer.
A cafe next to the gym of Raducanu’s physio serves almond croissants which she is quite fond of, hence the name.
The teenager further revealed that would want Gemma Chan, an actor who featured in the popular Hollywood movie ‘Crazy Rich Asians’, to play her in a film. Chan grew up on the street close to Raducanu’s house, and she also went to the same secondary school as the reigning US Open champion.

When asked what she does when she wins a match, Raducanu replied that focusing on her body’s recovery is very important irrespective of the match’s outcome. She further emphasized that it is important to have “good habits” as part of your day-to-day life on tour.
