On December 20, Beijing time, according to Tennishead, Andy Murray was convinced that Emma Raducanu, who was "down-to-earth" and "very smart", could cope with her growing expectations after winning the US Open, and felt that she would be "absolutely fine".
The 19-year-old British youngster caught the world's attention after winning the US Open – she became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam title. For this historic season, she was named WTA Newcomer of the Year and BBC Sporting Person of the Year Award.
However, a few days ago, Radulcanu was forced to withdraw from the exhibition match in Abu Dhabi due to the new crown virus. In an interview with Eurosport, three-time men's singles Grand Slam champion Andy Murray praised his compatriots.

"I feel that because she won the US Open and won a Grand Slam at the age of 18, for a while, I guessed, the media would be quite tolerant of her." Murray said.
'There will be certain stages in her career, certainly around Wimbledon and grass seasons, where expectations are very high for her.
"There's going to be a lot of pressure there. I know that's obviously something hard to deal with. I'm sure she'll be able to handle it, but that won't be easy. ”
"She's incredibly down-to-earth. She's very, very smart. I'm sure he'll be fine, but it won't be easy. ”

"I certainly didn't get to her level, but when I first played at Wimbledon, I went from no one knew me or no one had seen my game to the front page of a newspaper and was watched for a while, and it was like overnight, life changed in some way."
"Although it was the same as what happened to her, it was much bigger (of what happened to her). So I knew it must have been very difficult for her. ”
"The important thing is that you have your family, your team, and everyone around you who is the one you want to hear and will do your best to isolate other voices."
