You try to emulate certain shots: Emma Raducanu
Emma is no new to hurling praises for the Spaniard and his exceptional Tennis skills. She also wishes to replicate the Spaniard's shots during her matches.
During the 2024 Wimbledon championships, Raducanu was impressed by Alcaraz's victory over Frances Tiafoe. During the press conference at the Wimbledon Championships, Emma added, "The last couple of matches, I've been following Carlos and it's just good to watch before the match. And sometimes, in certain moments, you, in a way, try to emulate certain shots or whatever."

Carlos Alcaraz, the U.S. Open Champion from 2022, is having an outstanding 2024 season. He won the French Open and the Wimbledon 2024. To top that, he claimed the Silver medal at the Paris Olympics 2024 in August. The only setback was his first-round exit from the Cincinnati Open last week.
Emma Raducanu, on the other hand, has made a strong comeback, re-entering the World's Top 100 rankings. Facing a challenging draw in the US Open 2024, she will need to summon the best tennis of her career to match her heroics from 2021.
