- Scot urges British tennis to build on teenager’s US Open success
- ‘If she ever wants to talk I would always be there’
Andy Murray has urged British tennis to build upon Emma Raducanu’s stunning US Open success to avoid another decades-long wait for home-grown glory, but says he won’t comment on the 18-year-old’s future performances as he feels it is “incredibly irritating” and “not helpful”.
The Scot, whose own US Open triumph in 2012 ended a 76-year drought in men’s grand slam singles before he became the first Briton since Fred Perry in 1936 to claim the Wimbledon title the following year, has been critical in the past of the failure to build upon his achievements at grass-roots level.
