Emma Raducanu Trains in Number 10 Spurs Shirt
Born in Toronto to a Chinese mother and a Romanian father, Raducanu moved to London with her family at the age of two and grew up there. She is also sponsored by Nike, who of course make Spurs gear, but these are not the only reasons are not the only reason for her choice of attire. Her physio Will Herbert and also her agent Chris Helliar are Tottenham supporters and are doing their best to recruit the world number 12 into the Spurs fan club.
"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.”
Raducanu is not the first big name from the world of tennis to sport a Spurs top, Australian Nick Kyrgios turned up to Wimbledon in 2017 wearing their new shirt ahead of the 17/18 season.
