Raducanu: I’m very aware of who’s watching from the Royal Box

Emma Raducanu is eagerly awaiting who will be in the Royal Box on her return to Centre Court on Wednesday after admitting she enjoys the occasional celeb-spotting.

After easing through the first round against fellow British player Mimi Xu on Court One, Raducanu returns to Centre Court for the first time since last year’s fourth round exit to Lulu Sun, to play former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova.

The British No 1 will have to wait until after her US Open doubles partner Carlos Alcaraz has finished his second-round contest with British qualifier Oliver Tarvet before she takes to Centre Court as the last match of the day.

But while Raducanu might have watched Alcaraz in action at Queen’s, his opening round slog against Fabio Fogini was overseen by freshly knighted Sir David Beckham, something that did not go unnoticed by Raducanu.

“Occasionally [I glance up at the Royal Box], so I’m very aware of who’s watching,” Raducanu said. “I saw [Sir] David Beckahm was there watching Carlos. So that was pretty cool.

“But last year, I think David Attenborough was there, which was also pretty amazing.”

Raducanu has taken inspiration from Attenborough’s appearance after an unusual moment halted training during her preparations alongside her coach.

“I saw a frog on the practice court yesterday, and Mark [Petchey] picked it up in his hands, and we were joking that he was like David,” she revealed.

Although she enjoys the chance to play in front of celebrities and some of the most successful people in the country, for Raducanu the most important thing is having her close friends in her box.

At Eastbourne, after she admitted to going through a tough time, British No 5 Francesca Jones joined Petchey at courtside in a show of support, but at Wimbledon she almost had a posse.

“At Wimbledon, it’s particularly special,” Raducanu acknowledged. “It was incredible. I had really good friends in the box there. They’re all so busy with their work often, study in America too, so to have them all here in this one week, and the way the stars align that they could be here, it means so much when I see them there. It just makes me really happy.”

Speaking before the tournament in Eastbourne, Raducanu spoke of playing with “joy” and wanting to not have any regrets looking back on, such is the fleeting nature of a professional tennis career.

But also important is balance, and enjoying time off the court. Raducanu regularly visits restaurants and cafes, and has recently started an art history course, but most important for her is having friends there for support.

“After the match [against Xu] I just went outside to see them for five or 10 minutes, and that’s just an opportunity that is so rare, and you don’t really get that at other tournaments because I don’t really travel my friends out,” she said.

“So I have a few friends in other cities, but to have my real core, best friends here, it means a lot.”
