US Open champion Emma Raducanu shares court with the Duchess of Cambridge at LTA homecoming event

US Open tennis champion Emma Raducanu praised the "inspirational" Duchess of Cambridge "incredible forehand" during a friendly - but "competitive" - game on Friday as the British tennis sensation was officially welcomed home.

Besides the duchess celebrating their incredible achievements, the players were impressed by Kate's skills in the sport, too. Emma told ITV that she was "very, very impressed" with the Duchess of Cambridge's tennis. "Her forehand is incredible. It was a lot of fun to play tennis with the duchess."

Since winning the US Open earlier this month, Emma has been busy celebrating and attending various events, including the Met Gala and the British Vogue and Tiffany & Co.'s Fashion and Film party for London Fashion Week.
Ahead, see photos of Kate, Emma, Alfie, Gordon, and Joe playing tennis at the homecoming event.
