Emma Raducanu’s perfect slice! Brit tennis star shows off dramatic new look as she enjoys time away from the court during winter break

Emma Raducanu has unveiled a brand new hairstyle as the England No.1 continues to enjoy the season.

The 23-year-old was forced to cut his season short after battling back pain in the later stages of the Asian swing this autumn, with Raducanu losing in three sets to Lin Zhu in his final match of the year at the Ningbo Open.

Raducanu also decided to withdraw from her planned exhibition events next month, turning down the opportunity to travel to Miami with close friend Amanda Anisimova and rejecting the opportunity to pair up with her US Open mixed doubles partner Carlos Alcaraz for a second time.

Instead, Raducanu is determined not to disrupt the pre-season preparations he has planned with coach Francisco Roig, as the pair are set to work together for the Australian Open preparations for the first time since joining his team this summer.

But before training begins in earnest, Raducanu is enjoying some much-needed downtime in his hometown of London and decided to try a fresh crop.

Raducanu was looked after by hairdresser Nicola Noviello, a stylist at Belgravia-based Hershesons salon.

Noviello shared pictures of the ornament on his social media, writing that the work was a combination of ‘Italian hands’ and ‘English elegance’.

‘A brand new look for (Raducanu), thank you for trusting me with your style!’ She captioned a picture of a carousel where the actress is posing in her new look. ‘Creating something beautiful with an Italian touch is always special’.

Raducanu also seems happy with this style and commented “You are the best (two white heart emojis)” under the photos.

During the salon, Raducanu appeared to be having fun reading Blackstone CEO Stephen A Schwarzman’s book What It Takes: Lessons in the Pursuit of Excellence.

As well as a trip to the hairdresser, Raducanu enjoyed celebrating her birthday at the tennis players’ favorite restaurant, Cambio de Tercio in South Kensington, and visiting Twickenham to watch England take on New Zealand at the Autumn International meeting.

Raducanu sat next to Bridgerton star Simone Ashley and posed next to England’s Henry Pollock after the match and met England captain Maro Itoje in the stands.

There was also a trip to Twickenham in the off-season to watch England beat New Zealand.

The 23-year-old young woman sparked love rumors when she hit the road with her new man, Jack Coman.

The Wild ambassador had previously joined the England camp for a training day in preparation for the game, which England won 33-19.

Raducanu was also seen with new mystery man Jack Coman, who appeared in both Instagram posts and accompanied her to the English rugby home for the match.

Coman appeared in two posts that appear to be close together in time. There was another friend in the pictures, but as Raduanu posed, Coman smiled awkwardly and seemingly started laughing.
