Emma Raducanu and Tennis Great Andy Murray Have a Mutual Connection

Raducanu has previously had a personal connection to fellow British tennis player Andy Murray: his father-in-law was her personal trainer! Nigel Sears — whose daughter Kim Sears shares four kids with Murray — worked with Raducanu on and off until 2021.

"Quite frankly, I think the sky's the limit," Sears said in an interview when asked about Raducanu's talent. "She has the necessary qualities and she's hungry enough and eager to learn. She's ambitious and given the right opportunities and match experience, she'll make good progress." Murray has also publicly supported Raducanu, specifically when she received criticism for stepping down from her Wimbledon match after suffering from a panic attack.

Raducanu even said in her Elle UK interview that her dream would be to play doubles with Murray one day. Watch this space!
