Raducanu reunites with family Emma Raducanu

KENT. — Beaming Emma Raducanu has returned to her home in Kent to reunite with her parents after her epic US Open tennis win.

The tennis star (18) was all smiles as she strolled around Bromley in a navy tracksuit and T-shirt following her record-breaking win at the weekend.

The 18-year-old shared a doting smile and laugh with her dad, who stood proudly next to his champion daughter outside their home on Thursday morning after she landed at Heathrow from New York.

Emma was in a black Range Rover followed by another filled with suited security guards and a police car.

Standing along with her Dad Ian she beamed as she said: “It’s a great feeling to be back home. I’ve been away for seven weeks so it’s nice to be back.

“It’s nice to see them (her parents) again. I haven’t thought about what’s next. I’m just enjoying it and relaxing and recovering.”

When asked whether she was planning to have a catch up with friends or have a party to celebrate with family, Emma said: The Grand Slam champion reunited with her father Ian who said when asked how it felt to have his daughter back home: “I am so happy. I am very proud of her,” as the pair hugged. They then went back inside to the semi-detached family home to celebrate in private. Three big black suitcases — one with a Nike logo — were lined up outside the porch of the 1960s semi-detached house in suburban Bromley.

Meanwhile at her former primary school in Bickley, two large Union Flags have been put up on the front gates with “Well Done Emma” on them. Her return follows reports that the tennis sensation is on the way to becoming a £1billion athlete after lawyers raced to register her with trademark chiefs.

They have applied in the UK to safeguard the words “Emma Raducanu”, “Emma” and “Raducanu” — paving the way for her own cosmetics, perfumes, clothing and footwear lines. The 18-year-old Brit, with a Romanian dad and a Chinese mum, took the sporting world by storm on Saturday with her record-breaking US Open win. — The Sun.
