Emma Raducanu says reaching the second week of Wimbledon would trump any A-stars in her A-levels after the schoolgirl soared into the third round.

The 18-year-old, who is awaiting the results of her maths and economics exams, passed the test of 2019 French Open finalist Marketa Vondrousova on Thursday night to set up a last-32 tie with Sorana Cirstea on Saturday.

Asked whether she would prefer top grades or top billing in the women's fourth round, Raducanu replied: 'I would have to say round four at Wimbledon. Everyone that knows me would be like "what?" because they think I am fanatic about my school results and they think I have got such an inflated ego about it.

'My parents think I am crazy and I won't accept anything less than A-stars. I feel like I have to live up to that expectation so that's why I work so hard to try and get those grades.

'I'm not sure what I am going to come back with but I have high standards of myself. That has helped me get to where I am in terms of tennis and also in terms of school results – but I would still pick round four.'

Raducanu's passage to the third round means she is guaranteed at least £115,000 in prize money – almost quadrupling her career earnings to date of £29,000.

'It is quite incredible,' admitted the wildcard, who is the world No 338. 'I am still at the beginning of my career, so I will definitely use it to tap in to great coaches.

'Tennis is an expensive sport so to travel and compete week in week out, it will definitely go towards funding that. I am definitely very grateful for the opportunity that I received this week and I am just trying to make the most of it.

'Playing in front of a home crowd definitely helps. Their support is so loud and they are so behind me.

'I go out there and feel like I have got nothing to lose. I want to do the crowd proud. I am really just here enjoying myself and trying to stay here for as long as I can. I feel like I am on a holiday – it is unbelievable.'
