Emma Raducanu prepares for first tournament since sensational US Open win - in pictures

Emma Raducanu's life has been transformed since her victory at the US Open, which catapulted the teen into the public eye as the new sensation of world tennis, but she's not letting fame go to her head.

As the British teen prepared for her first tournament since that epic win, she says she does not plan to change her approach to tournaments.

"I don't really want to change anything," she said in the build-up to the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. "What got me to this point is not thinking anything differently.

"If I just put additional thoughts in my head, then that will just create a problem. I am just going to keep going about my business and staying the same.

"When I was back at home I still didn't really go out. I was just at home with my family. I got some cool invitations, kind messages and kind words. I didn't get too caught up in it."

Raducanu, meanwhile, is excited by the thought of being part of a new generation of young players, which includes the likes of her opponent in the US Open final, Canada's Leylah Fernandez, and fellow teen Coco Gauff.

"All of us are pushing each other," she said. "When you see one of the other players doing well you're also competitive and you want to do well.

"The women's game in general is so strong right now - the level is so high and anyone can win in any tournaments. Hopefully we can play each other in many more tournaments to come."

Raducanu has received a wild-card entry to Indian Wells and will be given a bye straight into Friday's second round, putting her on course for a potential third round meeting with her idol Simona Halep in the third round.

She says it has been "pretty cool" to get the congratulations of other players at Indian Wells. "It's really nice," the 18-year-old said.

"All the players are very friendly. I'm still very new on the tour - so it's pretty cool."

She also plans to take her time before hiring a new coach after parting company with Andrew Richardson following her victory in New York after qualifying as a wild card.

"Going forwards I'm just going to try and find the right person. I'm not going to rush into anything. I want to make sure that I make the right decision."

Raducanu believes that for the time being, she will more than capable of being her own coach during matches.

"I'm quite confident," she said. "I know that even though I'm quite young, I've got a lot of experience banked. And at the end of the day you're out there on your own and you have to be your own coach on the court.

"I'm just looking for the general things in a coach - someone that you get along with well and someone who can push you."

Points to remember

Debate the issue, don't attack the person
Build the relationship and dialogue by seeking to find common ground
Express passion for the issue but be aware of when you're losing control or when there's anger. If there is, pause and take some time out.
Listen actively without interrupting
Avoid assumptions, seek understanding, ask questions

Red flags

Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.

Another way to earn air miles

In addition to the Emirates and Etihad programmes, there is the Air Miles Middle East card, which offers members the ability to choose any airline, has no black-out dates and no restrictions on seat availability. Air Miles is linked up to HSBC credit cards and can also be earned through retail partners such as Spinneys, Sharaf DG and The Toy Store.

An Emirates Dubai-London round-trip ticket costs 180,000 miles on the Air Miles website. But customers earn these ‘miles’ at a much faster rate than airline miles. Adidas offers two air miles per Dh1 spent. Air Miles has partnerships with websites as well, so booking.com and agoda.com offer three miles per Dh1 spent.

“If you use your HSBC credit card when shopping at our partners, you are able to earn Air Miles twice which will mean you can get that flight reward faster and for less spend,” says Paul Lacey, the managing director for Europe, Middle East and India for Aimia, which owns and operates Air Miles Middle East.
