The British tennis star, Emma Raducanu, has captured the titles again, but this time it is not for her performance in the field. In a deeply emotional revelation that sent shock waves through his fans base, the 2021 United States Open champion has not only donated a significant sum of 110,000 euros to help the rescue efforts of floods in Bosnia and Croatia, but also shared a disturbing personal account that left fans without words.

According to Raducanu, the generous donation came a few hours after revealing on a live Instagram that three girls, close family friends, were captured in a horrible accident during a “peaceful party” that became a nightmare while a fatal flood sweared in parts of southern Croatia. What began as a relaxing trip on the quickly transparent adriatic coast in chaos while water levels rose without warning.

“The last time we listened to them, were kayak along the coast,” Emma shared. “Then … nothing. Without a telephone signal, without text, without update. We don’t know where they are. That silence is scary.”

The three girls, according to 16 to 20 years, passed a summer break near the division when the weather became violent. Since then, local authorities have confirmed that the area has suffered a sudden increase in tides, high -speed winds and sudden floods that have left dozens or missing dozens. While research and rescue teams have aligned, the exact position of girls remains unknown, pressing Emma’s emotional charm and direct participation.
Its publication, which now has more than 2 million visits and thousands of comments, has begun to circulate quickly through platforms, attracting reactions of international athletes, celebrities and fans. But what is really astonished was not only the scope of the disaster: it was the quiet but raw honesty of Emma in emotional tolls.
“I am not the type of person who panicked on social networks,” he said in Livestream. “But this time, I feel that I had to say something. Because I fear. We are all scared.”
Almost immediately after the transmission, Raducanu promised 110,000 euros for emergency reproduction operations, collaborating with humanitarian organizations both in Bosnia and Croatia. Money is used to finance local research equipment, provide clean water, refuge and emergency transport for interested communities.
What is particularly obsessed is that Emma also revealed that the girls had documented their trip to a private group chat, including videos of their last known position, a remote entrance to southern Makarska. The screenshots of these messages, later shared by a friend in the comments section, show smiling faces, jokes and a legend that now feels chilling: “This is calm before the storm.”
The world of tennis gathered behind Raducanu’s actions. Billie Jean King tweeted: “The courage and compassion of Emma go beyond his years. We all pray for good news.” Other stars such as Coco Gound and Ons Jabeur have added their voices to research, share photos and positions to increase consciousness and boost broader international support.
Despite global attention, no new information about missing girls arose. Silence persists. And for Emma, that silence is the heaviest weight of all.
“It’s not just tennis,” concluded his publication. “It’s hope. And right now, I’m clinging to everything I have.”
While fans flood comments with messages of support, many cannot help feeling that this story is far from finishing. Updates are expected as research efforts continue. For now, one thing is clear: Emma Raducanu is not just a champion in the countryside, but she is also a fighter in real life.
