Kate Middleton Meets & Plays Tennis With US Open Champion Emma Raducanu

Kate Middleton shows off her tennis skills to US Open champion Emma Raducanu during a homecoming event held at LTA’s National Tennis Centre in London, England on Friday afternoon (September 24).

The Duchess of Cambridge met with Emma, as well as Joe Salisbury, Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid as they returned back to England following their victories at the US Open this past month.

Kate is no stranger to the tennis court, and once described being a tennis player as her dream job.

“[Tennis] inspires young people including myself. Every time Wimbledon is on I am thinking, ‘Yes, I could do the same’ and get out the racket. Sadly, not the same results,” she had shared in the Sue Barker: Our Wimbledon documentary.

After Emma‘s win, Kate wrote a personal note to the teenager on the Cambridge’s Instagram. See what it said here…

Before she returned home, Emma was one of the prestigious guests at the Met Gala!
