PIERS MORGAN has been ripped by tennis fans for hailing ‘superstar’ Emma Raducanu and her US Open success.
That’s after he slammed the British teen for her Wimbledon withdrawal in July.
Raducanu became her country’s new No 1 today as she beat Belinda Bencic to reach the US Open semis.
It’s the 18-year-old’s first ever Grand Slam semi final.
And she is now just one win away from reaching the final at the famous Arthur Ashe stadium.
Raducanu will play either Karolina Pliskova or Maria Sakkari next in just her second Grand Slam appearance.
And following her win, Morgan took to Twitter hailing Raducanu’s efforts.
He said: “She’s on fire again, destroying another far higher ranked player in the US Open.
