If anyone has good reason to celebrate, it’s Emma Raducanu. The 19-year-old has been flying high since she hit the tennis scene last year, capping off a perfect debut season with a historic Grand Slam win at the US Open.
So on a night out with friends or family, which drink does the British player reach for to celebrate?
Raducanu was asked the question during media day at the Abierto Akron Zapopan, which is held near Guadalajara, Mexico. The country is well-known for its tequila—and in fact, the famous town of Tequila is located in Jalisco, the same state as Guadalajara. But when it comes to sampling Mexico’s famous margaritas, it’s hit or miss for Raducanu.
“I don’t really drink, I’m kind of boring! But yesterday Gus [tournament director Gustavo Santoscoy] gave me a virgin margarita. I didn’t know if it was real or not, because I’ve never had tequila before. So I couldn’t really taste the difference,” she explained with a laugh.
