Harry Kane has said a few words to Emma Raducanu after her latest lost.

Harry Kane has urged Emma Raducanu to keep her head up after the youngster’s early exits from the Grand Slams this year.

The 19-year-old failed to reach beyond the second round of any of the four Grand Slams and reached the semi-finals of a tournament on just one occasion. “It’s been a tough year for Emma, she’s had some ups and downs,” Kane told reporters. “But she’s a fighter, she’s a competitor, and I’m sure she’ll come back stronger from this.”

The Romanian, who came through the junior ranks at Wimbledon, had a dismal 2019 campaign in which she lost all 10 of her matches. But Kane has been impressed with Raducanu’s attitude and believes she has what it takes to turn things around.

“Harry Kane is a great player and he’s been a great help to me,” Raducanu said. " He’s been giving me a lot of advice and I’m really grateful for that."

Raducanu is currently ranked 496th in the world but Kane is confident she has the ability to climb up the rankings. “Harry has told me that I have the potential to be a top player,” Raducanu said. “I trust Harry and I know that if I keep working hard, anything is possible.”

Harry Kane is a world-class footballer who plays for Tottenham Hotspur and England. He has won numerous awards, including the Premier League Golden Boot, and is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world.

Kane, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, sympathised with Raducanu after her latest setback. “It’s been a tough year for Emma,” Kane said. “She’s had some great results but also some frustrating losses. I know how that feels.”
