Emma Raducanu played surprise role in helping fellow Brit
The 2021 US Open champion is getting plenty of practice – she’s already speaking Spanish with her coach, Francisco Roig, and French with chiropractor Jerome Poupel. And Raducanu, who got an A* and A in her A-Levels, is enjoying balancing tennis with education again.

“I think it helps me big time. It just gives me something to occupy my brain with, because I would say I may be prone to overthinking, and my brain will just keep going if I don’t give it something to think about,” Raducanu said, speaking days before she jetted to Barcelona for a pre-season training block with Roig.

“So having these subjects that I’m studying, it does remind me of when I was younger, and I was juggling two things. I’m putting deadlines on myself to achieve certain things, and having homework to do. It’s like all very nostalgic, but in a good way,”

This off-season has been about nostalgia for the world No. 29, who is throwing herself into life at home in Bromley. “I was obviously toying with the idea when I finished, like, ‘Am I going to go somewhere? Am I going to have a holiday?’ I did want to have a holiday, but then I came back home, and I was like, I’m not leaving. Like, I’m just so settled,” she explained.

Emma Raducanu played 50 matches this year, her most in a single season
“I’ve barely been in the UK this year because I’ve been competing so much, but I think just spending really good quality time with my parents has been so nice. I have loved just being in Bromley. It just reminds me of when I was a younger kid, and it’s the same bedroom, same everything. Bromley has some amazing speciality coffee shops now, like a few years ago, that didn’t exist. But now it is the place for coffee.

“And I’ve been trying to try every new spot. It’s been really nice, and obviously so much greenery, and it’s been fun, actually. I’ve been commuting on the train. So I’ve been part of rush hour every day, which has also been an experience. But it’s like my switch off.”

People “sometimes” recognise Raducanu – but she’s embracing it. She added: “I’m like, okay, what are they going to see me on the tube? It’s not a bad thing. You know, people take the tube, it’s fine. I’m kind of just owning that more. It’s like, if people recognise me, if people see me, and they want to come up to me, then that’s great, but I don’t necessarily feel like I’m hiding from anything anymore.”

Sam Kerr saw her Champions League dream take a major hit as Chelsea FC Women were knocked out by Arsenal Women despite a 1–0 win. Arsenal advanced 3–2 on aggregate after their strong first-leg performance.

Kerr nearly turned the tie with a powerful strike, but Daphne van Domselaar produced a brilliant save. Late drama followed when a controversial foul on Alyssa Thompson was ignored, sparking frustration from Chelsea players and staff.

Coach Sonia Bompastor was furious, criticizing officials and VAR for missing what she believed was a clear red-card offence by Katie McCabe. Her protests led to two quick yellow cards, resulting in a dismissal.

The defeat likely ends Kerr’s pursuit of a Champions League title with Chelsea, amid uncertainty about her future. Meanwhile, Arsenal progress to the semi-finals, joined by Bayern Munich, who staged a late comeback to eliminate Manchester United.
