New research has confirmed that Emma Raducanu’s rise in social media followers has increased following her maiden grand slam victory on New York.
The British qualifier completed the impossible on Sunday as she defeated Raducanu 6-4 6-3 to win her first grand slam title at the US Open.
In her second pro tour event the Brit outclassed the Canadian as she won all 20 sets over three weeks to complete a dream tournament.
As a result Raducanu’s ranking has risen from 150 in the world to 23 in the world.
However it’s not her ranking that has risen, it’s her social media numbers that have also increased research has shown.
Now the focus is on the 18 year-old having done a media round-up over in the states and last night she attended the Met Gala. This means more attention is on her than ever before which has translated into her Instagram.
