Not only is it inaccurate to use the spelling with diacritics, but it’s also disrespectful to Emma. That fact that there are other people who use the spelling Răducanu or that that is perceived as the correct spelling in Romania has no relevance to this article whatsoever. Her name is Emma Raducanu, not Răducanu.2A02:C7F:5E33:F00:E452:BA78:89DB:FB69 (talk) 23:20, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Emma Raducanu is a British tennis player, who was born in Canada and has lived in England since the age of two. Her only connection to Romania is her father's nationality. If we were to use her mother's nationality as a guide to spelling her name, it would read 拉杜卡努 - I trust others would agree that this would be an absurd course of action. The only reason to use diacritics in writing her name would be to appease Romanian nationalists - and that is definitely not recommended. Emma Raducanu's name is Emma Raducanu.
I agree her name should be Raducanu without the diacritics. She is not Romanian by nationality, but only by ethnicity and it is likely that she also does not know how to even speak Romanian. As she represents Great Britain, her name should be spelt in English. An example of this would be like spelling Bencic as Benčič, or Mladenovic as Mladenović, or Petkovic as Petković, or Fernandez as Fernández because of their surnames. This list goes on...

Benic and Petrovic all have their 'original' names in parentheses (Belinda Bencic (Slovak: Belinda Benčičová, pronounced [ˈbelinda ˈbentʂitʂɔʋaː]; born 10 March 1997), Andrea Petkovic (Serbian: Андреа Петковић, romanized: Andrea Petković, pronounced [ǎndrea pêtkoʋitɕ];[1][2] born 9 September 1987)) even if they have 'nothing' to do with their parent's home countries, so using this logic, since Raducanu is a Romanian surname (it doesn't matter she was born in Canada or that she is British her surname IS Romanian) it should appear in parentheses. 95.149.118.141 (talk) 15:01, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And many others with Anglicised names don’t have their 'original' name in parentheses. John Bercow doesn’t have Berkowitz, Stephen Poliakoff doesn’t have Поляко́в, Paul Dickov, Milija Aleksic, Nina Myskow, Mel Giedroyc, Lisa Dobriskey…2A02:C7F:5E33:F00:E452:BA78:89DB:FB69 (talk) 02:14, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Her height
We have it as 1.75 m (5ft 9in) in the infobox and referenced to a WTA webpage. I see though that webpage gives her height as 5ft 7in (1.75 m) - which is two different heights - 5ft 7in = 1.7 m and 1.75 m = 5ft 9in. I wonder which value is correct. -- DeFacto (talk). 14:01, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This article has been updated today with information on a tournament in which the subject is still participating. Wikipedia protocol is not to update until the tournament is complete or the subject has been knocked out. Current ranking shown as 100; WTA link still shows 150 and will only be updated next Monday (13 September). Ancienterracht (talk) 22:06, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure where you what the change. If you mean the first sentence, no. She is a British tennis player. Her early life says she was born in Canada so there you go for that. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:53, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
She is a dual citizen, British and Canadian. Her birth in Canada automatically gives her Canadian citizenship.if you prefer, you can say “Canadian-born British tennis player”.
