Emma Raducanu has been getting some mentorship from Tottenham FC star Harry Kane, according to Tennis365. Kane, who is also the captain of the English national team, knows extremely well how it feels to deal with massive expectations and pressure.
Raducanu, 19, has been in the spotlight ever since she became the first qualifier in tennis history to win a Grand Slam. According to Tennis365 sources, Raducanu and Kane “have had limited contact but have shared messages and spoken.”
Raducanu said Kane was one of her favorite footballers
In April, Raducanu competed on the clay courts of Stuttgart. In one of her practices, Raducanu was spotted wearing a Tottenham kit. Afterward, Raducanu explained that her entire team were Tottenham supporters.
“My whole team basically are big Spurs fans and I feel like they’re egging me on. They’re desperately trying to get me behind them. I don’t necessarily follow football so much, but I feel like now because of them I’m feeling some sort of connection.
I loved following the Euros last year and watching Harry Kane, who’s obviously the England captain, and Son [Heung-min], I’m a big fan of him as well. So, yeah, I like to dabble,” Raducanu said in April. In June in a video for the WTA, Raducanu named Kane as one of her favorite footballers.
Also, Raducanu said Kane was someone from whom she could learn some things. “One of my favourite footballers is probably Harry Kane because he is the captain of England and he is such a great role model to follow and he is super professional and takes everything to the nth degree.
I definitely feel like I can learn from that,” Raducanu said in June. Meanwhile, Raducanu’s 2022 season is over and recently she has been working hard in the gym as she is hoping to avoid frequent physical issues and setbacks in 2023.
