Emma Raducanu is optimistic about returning to her U.S. Open-winning form from three years ago. Since her stunning victory at Flushing Meadows in the summer of 2021, she has been plagued by injuries that have kept her off the court for a significant part of the current season.
After suffering a foot ligament strain at the Korea Open in September, she made a comeback representing Great Britain at the Billie Jean King Cup earlier this month. Now recovered from her recent injury, Raducanu is confident about regaining her top form, demonstrating her unwavering resolve despite the hurdles she’s encountered.
“Mentally I feel like I am in a better place to compete now than I ever have been before since the U.S. Open,” the tennis star said. “It’s going to probably take me some tournaments to get up to speed but once I do, I think I am in a better headspace to compete now.”

“I think traditionally you’d probably have a bit of a break and take a holiday or something, but I feel like I have had four, five weeks off tennis and I don’t really need any more time off,” she explained.
“If anything, I’m excited and just itching to get on the practice court, and of course seeing some of my performances this week, it just incentivises me to do more work.”
