Make room Roger Federer, Serena Williams and Andy Murray—it looks like the All England Club is getting ready to add someone new. That's right, Britain's Emma Raducanu was recently invited to become a member of the illustrious club that host Wimbledon each year.

Dozens of Wimbledon champions have received the invite by winning the Grand Slam title, but it appears the 18-year-old star won't be needing that to enter the club that is limited to just 500 members.

Raducanu made her major debut at this year's Wimbledon by receiving a last-minute wild card and she made the most of it. The Brit found herself in the second week at the grass-court major, but was forced retire against Ajla Tomljanovic in the Round of 16 due to difficulty breathing. Not bad for a first time appearance at a Grand Slam, right?

From there the Brit went on to make history at the US Open when she won 10 consecutive matches to win the whole thing. Raducanu did the unthinkable by becoming the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam and she didn't drop a single set in the process.

She may not have a Wimbledon trophy sitting at home just yet, but given what she has achieved in 2021 she sure does deserve this coveted invite.
