Tennis star Emma Raducanu, fresh off her victory at Wimbledon, admitted she was unaware of the UK general election scheduled for Thursday. After defeating Elise Mertens, Raducanu expressed plans for a lie-in and tennis practice, having been informed by reporters of the election date. The 21-year-old, known for her US Open triumph in 2021, is now preparing for a challenging match against Maria Sakkari. Meanwhile, fellow British player Katie Boulter also focused solely on tennis when asked about voting. Raducanu's unintentional election day absence contrasts with her impressive athletic performance at Wimbledon.
