Brit tennis star Emma Raducanu, 19, has revealed that she loved motorsport in her younger years in which she was a shy little girl. "As a child I was very shy, my mother enrolled me in dance but I was a tomboy, I preferred to see racing and motorsport than dance or paint my nails, then tennis appeared and I realised that I could be good," she told The Telegraph.

Meanwhile, Raducanu revealed that her mother always wanted her to continue with studies.

"I am a really normal person, my mother constantly scolds me and calls me back for the stupidest things. My mother wanted me to continue my studies, but I always thought I could do both. Without tennis I would now be at university. I am a normal 19-year-old girl, the difference is that I only spend a couple of days at home a month. My bedroom is a mess, I'm always packing my bags and when I go to a tournament, my mother tells the whole neighborhood," she remarked.
