Tennis icon or corporate law slave… umm hard choice !
Legal Cheek has the story..
Teen tennis star Emma Raducanu has put on hold plans to study law at university after her epic Grand Slam win over the weekend, media reports claim.
Raducanu, 18, from Bromley, South London, could have been set for life in a very different court, with reports suggesting she was previously looking at a number of university law courses with a view to qualifying as a barrister.
But the Brit’s tennis career took off swiftly and she had to shelve her plans halfway through her A-Level studies, The Sun reports.
“She realised her tennis career was taking off much quicker — and the rest is history,” a source told the newspaper. “She looked at a number of universities to study for a law degree while fancying herself to become a barrister.
But she realised a year ago that her sports career was taking off far more rapidly than she thought it would. She had started working out which universities she would apply for when she shelved her plans.”
Raducanu previously spoke of her ambitions for a career in law in an interview with the Lawn Tennis Association. She said: “I like arguing back a lot and talking back a little bit!”
