Emma Raducanu has risked a backlash by refusing to take a stand for equal pay in women’s tennis.

She was recently asked why she had not spoken out about the matter of WTA players receiving less money than their ATP counterparts.

Raducanu said that she would never take a stand on either side, explaining that money is not her motivation to compete.

“I just prefer to kind of not get and involved and just whatever,” said the young Brit.

“Whatever the situation is, I’ll kind of roll with it. But I’m never really going to take a stand either way.

“I don’t really get involved or stay in the loop with all the boards and all the decisions and stuff.

“I kind of just get on with it and I don’t feel like I really am playing for money.”
