RAD GESTURE
Raducanu has not seen the US Open trophy since returning home — and now she has given it AWAY!
After leaving New York following her remarkable victory, the 18-year-old star handed back the real thing to officials and was given a replica.
Yet she did not bring that back through Heathrow Airport’s customs, deciding instead to let the LTA display it at their London headquarters.
The Brit said: “It’s not at home, it’s going to be stored at the National Tennis Centre in London if you want to see it. I just thought the LTA have done so much for me.
“I wanted them to have it as a big thank you for everything they have done. They took control of my development.
“I thought it was just a nice gift and a nice moment. It’s a token of my appreciation.
“I haven’t actually seen it. I got it shipped straight to the NTC so I can’t wait to go there. It will be a special moment when I next see it.”
