A WORRIED mother has revealed she's having doubts about her toddler's name after realising it has another meaning. The anonymous woman, who lives in a Spanish speaking country, explained how she named her 18-month-old daughter after her husband's mother, whose family are from West Africa. Taking to Reddit , she continued: "I love the sound and meaning of the name, and I find it beautiful that she shares the name with her grandma, who I admire greatly." Since her birth, I am facing two problems: first, 90% of the people mispronounce her name and say the equivalent to 'water' in Spanish." "Second, I fear that her being de facto called 'water' will be the subject of years of bullying. So many jokes at hand." The woman went onto explain that the family are moving to a small town and says she's seriously considering the possibility of changing her name and giving the issue a "fresh start."

It was a beaming Emma Raducanu who chatted to reporters after Friday night’s win over Tereza Martincova . Not only because of the dominance of the 7-6, 6-0 scoreline, but also because she had just received a heartwarming reminder of how far she has come in the last year. Earlier the same day, as she waited to be called on court, Raducanu had received a notification on her phone. Part of the “memories” feature, it reminded her that, on April 29, 2021, she had just been heading into an exam hall in Orpington for the final test of her summer. “I was just reflecting on that and I was like, ‘Oh my God, like 365 days ago, I was literally sat in an exam hall doing maths paper three,’ ” Raducanu said. “I would have taken everything that’s happened and dealt with any sort of downs or losses or whatever those feelings are, if you would have given me what I’ve had in the last year.

Emma Raducanu hits back at critics: ‘I’m not distracted by sponsors, I’m practising for six hours a day’
Emma Raducanu has hit out at critics of her sponsorship deals and insisted commercial work does not distract her from tennis, despite her faltering form. The 19-year-old agreed a deal with Porsche this week, the sixth major sponsorship agreement she has reached since her stunning victory at last year’s US Open. As well as the car manufacturer Raducanu also has endorsements with Tiffany & Co, British Airways, Dior, Evian and Vodafone, meaning she has landed more sponsorship deals than tour wins (four) since that triumph in New York. Her three-set defeat to the Czech Republic's Katerina Siniakova on Thursday night at the Miami Open was the third tournament running where she has lost after serving for the match. That has led to suggestions Raducanu’s focus is being taken away from tennis , but the British No 1 has instead launched an impassioned defence of her priorities, saying such accusations are unfair. “If you just see – like on the news or on social media – me … [Read more...] about Emma Raducanu hits back at critics: ‘I’m not distracted by sponsors, I’m practising for six hours a day’
