Emma Raducanu vows to make tennis her 'priority' following her shock defeat at the Transylvania Open as the US Open champion deals with her overnight fame.. and is confident she will have a new coach in place by 2022

Emma Raducanu insists that tennis remains her 'priority' and that she will not allow herself to be distracted by off-court commitments.

The 18-year-old became tennis' latest sensation when she captured the US Open in September and has since been seen regularly at fashion events and movie premieres.

Commercial endorsements have been almost as conspicuous and Raducanu last week appeared in Sports Direct's Christmas advert alongside Manchester City's midfielder Jack Grealish.
