Emma Raducanu is expected to play for Great Britain in their Billie Jean King Cup tie against Germany on Friday.
Emma Raducanu, left, and Katie Boulter won three of their four singles matches as Great Britain beat France in April to reach the BJK Cup FinalsLittle over a month ago, Emma Raducanu posted photographs on Instagram in which she was wearing a protective boot on her left foot.
If Raducanu is picked against Germany as expected, she will be tasked with putting her team ahead in the three-match tie before Katie Boulter plays in the second singles match. Raducanu, though, has not played since 21 September when she retired from her Korea Open quarter-final against Daria Kasatkina, but on Thursday she insisted she was ready.
"I'm happy to be in this position especially because it did take longer than we think. I feel really fit." As she recovered from the foot problem, Raducanu used the time away from the match court to "detach". That day also marked Raducanu's 22nd birthday. She woke up to balloons and banners outside her door, before she was presented with a candlelit chocolate cake.
