Ep 235: Emma Radacanu & the End of Race

England is going crazy over its 18-year-old tennis phenomenon named Emma Raducanu, who recently won the U.S. Open after having to play 3 extra matches just to qualify to even play in the tournament. She had an amazing run, and as a tennis fan myself, I’ve enjoyed every second of it.

For tennis fans, it was a once-in-a-lifetime treat to watch something like this happen and we can only hope that she will win again. But Emma Raducanu’s popularity has soared far beyond the tennis world, and that’s what I want to talk about. She’s a beautiful girl, with an infectious smile and charming British accent. She’s already been hired as a brand ambassador for Tiffany & Co. Other endorsement deals are sure to follow. Why are so many people—who would never watch a tennis match in their life—fawning over this 18-year-old?
