WITH Emma Radacanu taking the world by storm with her stunning US Open win on Saturday, Whitchurch may have a tennis superstar of its own in the making.
Madelaine Crabb, known as Maddie and from Whitchurch, took home the title in the 10 and under girls singles in the Shropshire County Championships.
Her victory has left her parents Sarah and Tony full of praise for their daughter's efforts both on and off the court in getting her title.
"We are very proud of Maddie," said Tony.
"She practices extremely hard, with a smile, is always very positive and it’s great that she’s been able to get the results her hard work deserves."
Maddie plays at the Hollies club in Chester Road and is one of two youngsters at the club to represent her county.
