EMMA RADUCANU showed tennis is not the only string to her bow during a Lake District staycation.

The former US Open champion, 23, has been enjoying a “timeout” up north after a promising season was ruined by injury.

Raducanu was decked out in full countryside gear as she posed for snaps in an eight-picture Instagramslideshow.

A herd of cows and a picturesque lake scene also made the cut.

But one that particularly caught the eye was a video of Raducanu clay pigeon shooting.

The Canadian-born star, who competes under the GB flag, pumped both fists after nailing two clay pigeons on the trot.

Tennis fans are still waiting patiently for Raducanu to be in good enough shape to return to her primary discipline.

She started the year well, making the final of the Transylvania Open in February, where she lost to Sorana Cirstea.

Raducanu then beat Cirstea en route to the Queen‘s Club final in June, when she lost to Donna Vekic.

But it was on that demanding run at Queen’s that triggered a stress fracture in Raducanu’s right leg.

That forced her to sit out Wimbledon, the US Open and the entire Asian swing.

Raducanu has slipped outside the world’s top 100 but is expected back on court early next year, when she can set about fighting her way back up the rankings.
