Emma Raducanu’s best friend reveals tennis star’s bizarre morning habit in shocking interview ahead of Wimbledon
EMMA RADUCANU has a bizarre habit when she wakes up in the morning.
The tennis superstar has had her unusual routine leaked to the world by her best friend.
Raducanu, who is preparing for Wimbledon next month, was taking part in an advertising campaign for Vodafone alongside radio presenter Roman Kemp.
And the 21-year-old had her best friend Shauna reveal some strange habits of hers as part of the partnership.
Shauna was asked what the first app Emma Raducanu uses in the morning is, revealing she has an unbelievable tendency to spy on her friends at the crack of dawn.
Shauna said: “She opens ‘Find My Friends’ and checks that all her friends are in their locations.”
And it doesn’t stop there either, with Shauna going on to explain that the former US Open champion has a tendency to ask her friends where they are going whenever they appear to have moved on the app.
She added: “She will actually text you and ask where you’re going!”
And Raducanu doubled down on the accusation, admitting that she is always keeping a keen eye on her mates’ whereabouts.
She joked: “It’s like 9:30 in the morning, you’ve just left the door [and I’ll send a message saying:] ‘where are you going?'”.

Raducanu will be hoping her location is well known from July 1, as she will be looking to stay put on Centre Court at Wimbledon.
With the tournament now just nine days away, Raducanu will have full focus on bouncing back from her disappointment of missing the iconic slam last year.
While her last attempt on the famous grass of Wimbledon came to a crashing end in the second round back in 2022.
The world No165 won’t be heading to Paris this summer either after she shut down the opportunity to represent Team GB at the Olympics.
The Canada-born Brit has chosen instead to focus on getting her form back up to scratch following a lengthy spell away from the court with injury.
For now she is getting ready for Wimbledon by getting on grass at the Rothesay International in Eastbourne.
Raducanu faces a tough challenge in her opener after she was drawn against fellow former US Open champ Sloane Stephens.
