Łukasz MałyrA distinct rise in fame will, of course, come with its good and bad, and Emma Raducanu has experienced this similarly throughout her career after winning the 2021 US Open.
Since then, Raducanu has struggled with the weight of expectations and injury problems, and she gave advice on how to deal with them. However, when asked about him, she replied that she would love to meet him.
Littler was more of a teenage prodigy than Raducanu, so the comparison can only be made if he became an overnight newspaper sensation and was widely known. However, the Briton is perhaps proof that not everything has gone completely smoothly for now, and perhaps serves as a warning to him.
“Incredible respect for him, going out there, supporting him and winning the title. It’s difficult,” said Raducanu before the Australian Open, who said she wanted to meet the world champion.
“A great opportunity. I would love to meet top athletes who have achieved success in their fields.
“Dart is a very precise sport, I would love to hear what he has to say about it and how he stays focused because you can get close but not necessarily get the last shot.
“It’s similar to tennis in that sense.”
She also talked about the advice she gave him and what she learned from her sudden promotion and brush with fame so far.
“There’s not much that prepares you for this, you feel like you’re constantly on edge because you’re being followed.
“But I think the biggest part is the evaluation and comments on every decision you make.
“It was really hard for me to come to terms with that and try to desensitize myself to it and just understand that it comes with the territory that you’re in.”
