Emma Raducanu
US Open tennis champion Emma Raducanu,18, recently revealed that she was very shy during her childhood and said the sport helped her come out of her shell.
The British teenager defeated Canada's Leylah Fernandez in the final at New York on Saturday to become the first qualifier to capture a Grand Slam.
Speaking to fashion magazine, Vogue, Raducanu said: "I was a very shy little girl who didn't talk much at all. And through playing sport, and having to be bold on the court and fearless and fight, it's given me inner strength.
If you have that, then you can really achieve whatever you want."
