Who are Emma Raducanu’s parents?
Tennis favourite Emma has a close family unit, made up of her father Ion Răducanu and mother Renee Zhai (née Dongmei). Her dad Ion is from Bucharest, Romania, while her mum Renee was born in Shenyang, China, with both parents working in the finance industry.
Speaking about her relationship with her mother and father, Emma told Daily UK News: “My parents definitely have high expectations. “In anything, not even just tennis. I have to be the best, do the best I can. When I was younger it was to please them, but now I actually realize it’s great for me to do it on my own – that’s where I think I see the best results: when it’s me driving it.”
She went on to add: “They both came from very academic families and in pretty tough countries growing up – my dad in Romania and mum in China – so they probably have a lot of that remaining. “They were both communist countries so education was kind of their only option. They want me to have options, they think my education is very important for my future.”
Who are Emma Raducanu’s siblings?
Despite popular belief, Emma does not have a sister or any other siblings. The 21-year-old is the only child of her parents Renee and Ion.
After being born in 2002, Emma lived in Toronto, Canada, before moving to the UK with her parents two years later.
