MusaEmma Raducanu recently opened up about her admiration for two tennis legends, and fans are loving her honest take. When asked who she thinks is the tennis “GOAT” — the Greatest of All Time — she didn’t hesitate. For Emma, it’s Novak Djokovic, hands down. She praised the Serbian star for everything he’s achieved, especially how he’s managed to dominate the sport for so long despite tough competition from Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
Emma made it clear she has huge respect for Djokovic’s consistency, his mental strength, and his ability to stay at the top even as younger players come through the ranks. She called his record “incredible” and said no one else comes close to what he’s done, especially in Grand Slams. Coming from a Grand Slam champion herself, that’s a big compliment.
But while Djokovic might be her pick for the GOAT title, he’s not Emma’s personal favorite. That spot is reserved for someone else — Simona Halep. Yes, the Romanian tennis star is the one who really has Emma’s heart. Emma said she loves Halep’s game style, especially how she moves on the court and fights for every point. She admires her energy and determination, calling her an inspiration.
What makes Emma’s comment even more meaningful is the fact that she grew up watching Halep and learning from her style. You can even see some of Halep’s grit and focus in Emma’s own game. It’s sweet to see a young champion give credit to those who inspired her along the way.
Fans are also appreciating how Emma managed to give both Djokovic and Halep their flowers without any drama or controversy. She simply spoke from the heart, acknowledging Djokovic’s dominance while still showing love for the player who made her fall in love with the sport.
Emma Raducanu is known for being down-to-earth, and this latest interview is another example of how relatable she is. Like many fans, she can recognize greatness, but she still has her personal favorites — and she’s not afraid to share them.
Whether you’re Team Djokovic, a Halep fan, or just someone who loves tennis, it’s always refreshing to hear what the rising stars think about the legends of the game.
