Raducanu, who is competing in her first full season on the WTA Tour this year, first revealed that she always travels with a disposable camera in her bag. The 18-year-old said she enjoys looking back at the memorable moments from her trips, before showing some of the pictures she took during one of the Billie Jean King Cup ties.

Having dubbed herself a persistent snacker in an earlier interaction with LTA, Emma Raducanu reasserted her love for confectionery in the ’tour essentials’ video. Calling them an “absolute must”, the youngster said she always travels with a jar of peanut butter and some dark chocolate.

Raducanu added that she also carries a lacrosse ball for sore muscles, and an extra pair of off-court trainers. She shared her latest purchase in the video - a pair of low-dunk blue trainers - before admitting she was one of those people who desperately try to get their hands on stuff by constantly being online.

“Pre-match, I listen to anything energetic” - Emma Raducanu

Emma Raducanu also talked about her pre-match rituals in the short video, saying that she likes to listen to music right before the start of a match. The 18-year-old revealed that her pre-match playlist is full of “energetic” songs that have “good beats”.

Raducanu also joked that earlier she used to listen to a lot of rap, but that now it somehow made her feel sleepy.
