Her first grand slam win, in which she didn’t drop a set all tournament, has propelled the 18-year-old into the limelight. She defeated Leylah Fernandez in September and has since been to the Met Gala and amassed a huge social media following.
Raducancu now turns her attention back to tennis as she takes on Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the second round of the Indian Wells after being given a bye for the first round.
The Brit will have her eyes on the prize as she has said she is “hungry” for more trophies.
She said: “I think the level and quality, I really realised that whilst re-watching it. It was such a cool experience and sometimes you do just rewind and relive the moment and the feelings.
“It’s great to reflect and have that so gradually it sort of sinks in. I am just super proud of the achievement. I am now looking forward. I am not going to cling on to that. I am still hungry for more.”
