Shortly after Kyrgios booked his spot in a maiden Grand Slam semi-final with a 6-4 6-3 7-6(5) win over Cristian Garin, Raducanu tweeted “NK” with a magic wand emoji, appearing to refer to the world No 40’s Wimbleon victory. The Australian hadn’t seen the message but went on to laud the young Brit as one of the most “important” players for the sport.
He responded: “I haven’t had much communication with Emma before. I feel like I’ve kind of stuck up for her a bit in the media with some of the stuff that older legends kind of love to just throw shade and have their opinions on young players, young important players.
“She’s obviously going to be one of the most important players on the WTA Tour for a very long time.” And the 27-year-old also claimed that the 19-year-old would be able to win another Grand Slam in the future, despite some recent doubts that had been raised by her injury woes and early Wimbledon exit.
