Emma Raducanu landed at Heathrow Airport in London on February 19, 2025, and melted hearts with a tearful reunion with her father, Ian. The 22-year-old tennis star, fresh off a tough week at the Dubai Tennis Championships, couldn’t hold back tears as she hugged her dad—her rock through every swing and miss. Just days earlier, she’d faced a stalker scare mid-match, breaking down after spotting a “fixated” man in the stands. Now, back on home turf, that emotional weight poured out at Terminal 5. Ian, who’s guided her from Bromley courts to Grand Slam glory, wrapped her in a tight embrace, a scene that echoed their joyful 2021 US Open homecoming. Was this relief, exhaustion, or pure love? For Emma, it’s clear: nothing beats dad’s hug after a storm.
