Emma Raducanu’s Injury Update Eases Wimbledon Concerns After Queen’s Club Doubles Win
Emma Raducanu alleviated fears about her Wimbledon 2025 prospects with an encouraging injury update following her doubles victory alongside Katie Boulter at the WTA 500 HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club on June 9. The 22-year-old, ranked No. 34, had sparked concerns after revealing recurring back spasms, which disrupted her grass-court preparations, limiting her to just two or three days of practice on grass before the tournament, per Express.co.uk
After defeating Xinyu Jiang and Fang-Hsien Wu 6-4, 6-2 in their doubles opener, Raducanu told reporters, “It was good to test [my back] out and see how it goes in the match. I’ve been managing it, and I think I will continue to. Hopefully it stays in good shape for tomorrow,” per Express.co.uk. She appeared unhindered during the match, showcasing her usual agility and net play, which reassured fans, per The Guardian. Her performance, dubbed “Boultercanu” with Boulter, ignited optimism for her singles campaign against Cristina Bucsa on June 10, per Tennis365.com.[](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/2066378/Emma-Raducanu-Wimbledon-Queens-injury-update)[](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/jun/08/emma-raducanu-expectations-low-queens-club-after-back-spasm-tennis)[](https://www.tennis365.com/tennis-features/who-does-emma-raducanu-play-in-queens-club-round-1)
Raducanu’s back issue, first experienced during a Strasbourg Open loss to Danielle Collins in May 2025, resurfaced post-French Open, where she reached the second round before falling to Iga Swiatek, per Tennis365.com. Despite the setback, she remains committed to a packed grass schedule, including Berlin (June 16-22) and Eastbourne (June 23-29) before Wimbledon (June 30-July 13), per Motociclismo.pt. She tempered expectations, stating, “My expectations are pretty low because I played points for the first time [Sunday],” but expressed determination to manage the injury, per The Guardian.
The return of coach Nick Cavaday, alongside part-time coach Mark Petchey, has bolstered her support system, per Tennis365.com. Fans on X, like @yasminstefsyed, noted her resilience, amplifying hopes for a strong Wimbledon showing.[](https://www.tennis365.com/tennis-news/emma-raducanu-injury-problem-coaching-update)[](https://x.com/yasminstefsyed/status/1931742172077764991)
