British teen tennis sensation Emma Raducanu can add another honour to her fast growing reputation after being named the Oppo Wimbledon Breakthrough Award winner.
The 18-year-old reached the fourth round at the All England Club last week after entering the tournament, her first grand slam, as a wild card.
Raducanu, who was born in Canada to a Romanian father and Chinese mother before moving to London as a child, became the youngest British woman to make the women’s singles fourth round in the Open era.
The world No 179, up from a career high No 333 pre-Wimbledon, marked the announcement on Twitter.

“An honour, thank you,” she wrote. “Can’t wait to come back next year.”
Raducanu retweeted Wimbledon’s tweet announcing that she had beaten fellow nominees Sebastian Korda, Liudmila Samsonova and Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Korda reached the men’s singles fourth round, Samsonova reached the same stage of the women’s singles and Auger-Aliassime reached the men’s quarters.
“An incredible run on her Wimbledon debut,” they wrote. “Introducing the Oppo Wimbledon Breakthrough Award winner, Emma Raducanu.”
Raducanu, whose fourth-round match against Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic ended with a medical retirement after her run “caught up” with her, was back at Wimbledon to watch the men’s singles final on Sunday.
