Emma Raducanu ‘could be given CBE by the Queen’ after US Open triumph
The Metro says Emma Raducanu could be awarded a CBE from Her Majesty after ending the UK’s 44-year wait for a women’s Grand Slam singles champion, reports claim.
The tennis star, 18, is believed to be certain to receive an MBE after her stunning US Open triumph.
A source told The Telegraph officials are likely to debate making her a rare teenage recipient of an OBE.
But the Daily Mail claims the teenager could even be given a CBE – the highest ranking Order of the British Empire award, excluding a knighthood or damehood.
