Emma Raducanu has surprised the whole world by sharing some interesting words about her tennis and current situation. The 2021 US Open champion, the British player now adds several victories that boost her confidence in her tennis after a tough period of injuries. The 22-year-old tennis player reflects that self-assurance in her statements.
"Normally, one would take a break and some vacation time or something, but I think I've been without playing tennis for four or five weeks and I don't need more free time. In any case, I'm excited and eager to step onto the practice court, and of course, watching some of my performances this week only motivates me to work harder," Emma explained to the WTA official page, referring to her outstanding performance in the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup, also a result of those practice sessions where she puts 100% effort into every shot.
"My assessment is that sometimes I need to remind myself that I'm among the top 60 in the world and have played fewer than 15 tournaments, which is quite unheard of in a way. I have to pat myself on the back for that. I know I'm a dangerous player. I know no one wants to draw my name in the draw. I take pride in that, and I hope to stay on the court longer next year."
Her current moment
"There were so many tournaments. I wasn't defending any points at the end of the year, so of course, I wanted to play. I think I took advantage of the time and used it very proactively and productively. Two days ago, I hit 10 aces, for example, the same as I did in Seoul in my last match, but it has been a work in progress. It doesn't happen overnight. Although at that moment I felt a bit disappointed, now I feel quite good and have no regrets.
I'm playing against very tough opponents, and their ranking on these surfaces should not be underestimated because they are very dangerous. I'm very pleased with how I fought and how I'm doing against these really good girls. I feel like I'm in a good moment with my tennis right now."
