The Briton is set to play Sloane Stephens at Eastbourne on Monday

Emma Raducanu has hilariously left Ronan Kemp bemused ahead of her Eastbourne Open clash with Sloane Stephens on Monday.

The 21-year-old has been handed a wildcardy entry to Wimbledon this summer, with the Briton previously missing the tournament last year due to injury.


Raducanu recently returned to action at the Nottingham Open, making it to the semi-finals before losing to Katie Boulter.

And as she prepares to grace the court once again this coming week, Raducanu has taken part in a new advert with Vodafone.

In a clip posted on social media, Raducanu takes part in a 'phone a friend' challenge.

Her friend, Shauna, agreed to give some insight into the tennis star and what she's like away from the action.

Shauna revealed Raducanu likes to spend time on the 'find my friends' app, with the 21-year-old always looking out for those closest to her.

She then said the 2021 US Open champion makes a 'sick' yoghurt bowl, with Kemp left baffled by her comments.

With a grimace, he responded by saying: "Emma! You can't! No!"

Shauna was asked to reveal who the most famous contact in Raducanu's phone is.

But she refused to say, with the tennis sensation laughing and dubbing her a 'good friend'.

Fans on Instagram seemed to enjoy the interaction, with one user saying: "This is so adorable."

A second said: "Famous friends brilliant, and good luck with the Tennis."

And a third reacted by saying: "Cute! Shauna is a great friend to have."

Raducanu has reflected on her recent run at the Nottingham Open, where she showed glimpses of her best form.

And the 21-year-old says she's 'feeling the fire again' as she looks to win a second Grand Slam title of her career at Wimbledon this summer.

"Tried my best with what I had on the day," she said on social media.

"Despite the result I enjoyed the battle and feel the fire again.

"Congrats @katiecboulter for defending your title at home, 5 sets and completing the double with Alex."

"I've been doing the right things and I'm just looking forward to playing in front of a home crowd."
