I got to see the real Emma Raducanu – she's living her career in reverse and people don't realise how much she does
TOTALLY RAD I got to see the real Emma Raducanu – she's living her career in reverse and people don't realise how much she does EMMA RADUCANU'S former coach insists she is pulling out all the stops to dominate tennis after 'living her career in reverse.' Raducanu shot to fame when she won the US Open aged just 18. 2 Emma Raducanu has been 'living her career in reverse' Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 2 Former coach Mark Petchey insists the Brit is more determined for success than ever Credit: PA Advertisement It saw her become the first qualifier in the Open era to win a singles major title. And Raducanu's win earned her a host of lucrative endorsements while also ensuring her place as a household name. But the British No1 has since struggled to live up to her past billing. The 22-year-old has suffered several debilitating injuries.

He told OLBG: 'Coaching Emma was awesome. From my perspective, I hope people can really understand how much she loves tennis. Emma Raducanu 'asks for crying child to be EJECTED from stadium' in tense exchange with umpire and crowd agree 'She's totally invested in it. She watches it all the time. She practices as hard as anyone I know and has spent more time on the court, or as much time on the court, as everybody else. And obviously she's living a very different life. 'She's living a lot of her career in reverse and that's not been easy. Having set the bar so high so early on in your career every week you are measured not just by other people's expectations but also your own expectations. Advertisement "That is a good thing because it drives you to be as good as you can be. 'But on the other hand, it's difficult, because at times it can feel like you're not hitting the standard you want to because that's where your bar is at. "From that perspective, her work ethic and her desire to be able to do what she did back in 2021 is as great as I remember it in 2020 when I first had a chance to work with her.'

How a Limerick designer went from making 'avant garde' covid masks to creating a Rose of Tralee dress
King John's Castle and Chicken Hut were among the locations carefully crafted by a Limerick designer into the dress worn by Limerick Rose, Leah McMahon, earlier this week. Mary O'Sullivan said she was honoured to see the bespoke gown she created showcased to Rose of Tralee viewers in Ireland and around the world. The green and white dress illustrated Ms O'Sullivan's play on a Toile de Jouy by displaying some of the designer's favourite spots in Limerick city. From creating a waistcoat worn by John Moran at his first mayoral ball to being announced as one of the designers who will take part in Ireland's first Fashion Week, it has been one milestone moment after another for the designer. After a week-long internship in a tattoo studio for her Leaving Cert, she fell in love with drawing. But it was while studying in Limerick School of Art and Design (LSAD) that she found her calling. 'When I did fashion, it was like the sky cleared. This drive and passion that I had never felt before emerged for me. After that point, the rest is history, I was hooked,' she recalls. Designer Mary O'Sullivan: 'When I did fashion, it was like the sky cleared.' Picture: Sarah Edel Hayes This was followed by an internship in London's embroidery houses, where she did work for the likes of the British royal family, Alexander McQueen and different brands like The Row. 'I had my daughter in first year of college as well. Because I had a daughter, it was always in the back of my head that if I was going to stay in Limerick, it was either a case me trying to find something that made me feel creatively fulfilled, or else start my own business.' After the 'intensity of fourth year', she got burnt out and took a break from creative work. But when covid hit, her family and friends asked her to make face masks – which went from functional to 'more avant garde'. 'I know people are allergic to them now and I don't blame them. But for me, it was something that allowed me a way to get back into sewing. It was no longer about being burn out, but about me helping others in a time when we felt all so alone and disconnected,' she said. Later she worked with Chicken Hut, one of Limerick's beloved spots, on a limited tote bag collection. Leah displays her dress featuring Thomond Park at the Rose of Tralee on Tuesday.

The Limerick designer has been gaining recognition for her Toile de Jouy, as recently seen on the Rose of Tralee stage. It is a design she remembered seeing for the first time when her mother worked as a nurse for the late Seventh Earl of Lord Dunraven and Mount-Earl in Adare. She often visited a granny flat adjacent to his house as a child, where the print covered the wall from floor to ceiling. 'At the time, I didn't know the name of it, but it had these little scenes, a very romanticized view of country life. 'In my child mind, I always wondered about the people in these pictures and imagined all these lives for them. It just stuck in the back of my head.' In October, she will be one of the nine designers showcasing her work at Ireland Fashion Week, as part of the Irish Roots show. The green and white dress illustrated Ms O'Sullivan's play on a Toile de Jouy by displaying some of the designer's favourite spots in Limerick city. Photo: Domnick Walsh © Eye Focus LTD She said: 'It's like seeing Ireland in a new light, this isn't the way that Ireland has been portrayed in the past. This is something new, something exciting, and unexpected from Ireland.' As we are going through a cost-of-living crisis, Ms O'Sullivan said she understands not everyone can financially support artists. However, there are other ways to show appreciation for someone's work. 'If artists or designers are producing work that you really like, just drop them a message. A lot of us work by ourselves and it sometimes can be like a very solitary thing. By interacting with people, you can give them a little pep in their step and help them to keep going."

Niall Horan gets emotional revisiting beloved ground
Niall Horan has recently opened up about an emotional return to his beloved Pride Park – the home of Derby County. The former One Direction star is a huge Derby fan and shared how much he loves the club and the ground itself when he returned to watch them take on Coventry City on Saturday. Unfortunately for Niall, it wasn't a victorious return, although he did get to see a lot of goals in the Rams' 5-3 defeat to Frank Lampard's side. Niall Horan is a huge Derby County fan. Pic: GMCD Derby were 3-2 up with 20 minutes to go but couldn't hold on as Coventry sailed to victory, scoring three goals in seven minutes to claim all three points. Niall spoke about his long time support of the English side and revealed he used to get up at 4am to watch their matches while he was in the US. He told BBC Derby: 'I get very emotional about being here. I love this place. I love this ground. I love the vibe it gives off. I just love Derby County. Niall attempts to watch as many games as he can. Pic: Steve Galli/REX/Shutterstock 'I probably get here twice or three times a season, but get to a lot more away games. 'When we're on the road, I find it easier to make a quick train journey somewhere on a Friday night or a Saturday, maybe in London or something like that. Something that's a little bit closer to me. 'But I do spend a lot of time in the States and travelling and stuff like that. But I watch every single game on Rams TV for my sins sometimes, but I've been up early across the planet to watch the Rams. Won't miss a game.' Niall watched on as Derby lost 5-3 to Coventry. Pic: Jon Hobley/MI News/NurPhoto via Getty Images Niall went on to heap praise upon Derby manager John Eustace, who he believes in the best head coach in the EFL Championship. The singer continued: 'I love John, I think John Eustace is one of the best, if not the best, manager in the league. '(He's) one of the greatest British managers flying around. He's proving himself everywhere. He kept us up last season. He just needs to accumulate this team and make them look good. We've got a lot of injuries obviously, but today we were just sloppy. Unfortunately for Niall, it wasn't a victorious return, although he did get to see a lot of goals in the Rams' 5-3 defeat to Frank Lampard's side. Pic: GMCD 'I'm sure I won't be the only person to say that. We were all over the place. We didn't look energised, we didn't look like we could win a second ball. It was just very, very frustrating, but not a crazy day to be a Derby County fan. We've seen this before, and we'll be here again.' Niall's beloved side haven't had a great start to the new Championship season, losing 3-1 to Stoke City on the opening day before the defeat to Coventry. However, they did knock West Brom out of the EFL Cup in the first round on penalties. Derby have been drawn away to Premier League side Burnley in the second round, which will not be an easy task. Niall will be relieved that he still gets to watch Derby in the Championship after they narrowly avoided relegation to League One last season. The Rams' 0-0 draw with Stoke on the final day of the season was just enough to keep them up by a single point, but they rallied to win the two previous matches to escape the drop. Derby's late surge of form condemned Luton Town to back-to-back relegations. Niall will no doubt be keeping an eye on the side in their next Championship clash against Bristol City on Friday night.
