Emma Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion, expressed optimism about her form, stating she feels “pretty good” as she intensifies her preparations for Wimbledon 2025, starting June 30. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the WTA 500 HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club (June 9-15), Raducanu highlighted her excitement for the grass-court season despite a recent back spasm that forced her withdrawal from doubles practice, per @DExpress_Sport on X. The 22-year-old, ranked No. 37, is set to face a qualifier in the first round at Queen’s, with a potential second-round clash against Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova, per Sky Sports.[](https://x.com/DExpress_Sport/status/1931734568526332247)
Raducanu’s grass-court schedule is packed, including the Berlin Tennis Open (June 16-22) and Eastbourne Open (June 23-29), as confirmed by @FanNewsRADUCANU on X, to maximize match play before Wimbledon. Her 2024 grass season, where she reached the Nottingham semi-finals, Eastbourne quarter-finals, and Wimbledon fourth round—defeating No. 9 Maria Sakkari—provides a strong foundation, per wtatennis.com. She’s also reunited with former coach Nick Cavaday and added Mark Petchey for the grass season, per @SkySportsNews on X, boosting her confidence.[]
Despite a challenging French Open 2025 second-round loss to Iga Swiatek (6-1, 6-2), Raducanu remains upbeat, noting improved consistency since January, per BBC Sport. Her doubles partnership with Katie Boulter at Queen’s, facing Xinyu Liu and Fang-Hsien Wu, aims to enhance her grass-court sharpness, per @RaducanuNews on X. “I want to go into Wimbledon with more matches on grass,” she told BBC Sport, emphasizing her strategic focus. With 206 points to defend, Raducanu’s push for a Wimbledon seeding is on track, per motorcyclesports.net.[](https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/c071m7g7ezeo)[]
