Jürgen Klopp on US Open winner Raducanu: “Talent of the Century”

After her historic success at the US Open, British tennis player Emma Raducanu has now received special praise: Jürgen Klopp sees the 18-year-old as an exceptional talent.

Jürgen Klopp was enthusiastic about the British US Open winner Emma Raducanu. “She is definitely the talent of the century,” said the German coach of the English soccer club Liverpool FC at a press conference. Klopp is considered a passionate hobby tennis player. The former BVB coach even interrupted preparations for the Premier League game against Leeds (3-0 win on Sunday, note d. Red.).

There was one thing that enthused Klopp even more than Raducanu’s tennis

It had been a long time since he had followed a complete tennis match, Klopp told the assembled press, which is one of the reasons why he was particularly enthusiastic about the “power and speed of the entire duel”. “These two girls, 18 and 19 years old, were impressive. But even more inspiring than their tennis was the way they talked to each other during the award ceremony (…) That was outstanding sportiness, how modest they appeared at their age and at the top of the world “, recapitulated a visibly enthusiastic Klopp.

“This success is the result of hard work,” said Klopp about Raducanu. Despite everything, “seeing her smile throughout the game” was the most beautiful thing he could have imagined, the successful coach continued. “Thanks to her, I’ll watch more women’s tennis in the future, that’s for sure.”
