A year after she was confined to a mobility scooter having undergone multiple surgeries, British tennis player Emma Raducanu says she feels “really healthy” ahead of the grass-court season.
The 2021 US Open champion was sidelined for eight months last year as she recovered from surgery on both of her wrists and one of her ankles. Now ranked no. 208 in the world, the 21-year-old Raducanu has played more regularly this year but missed the French Open to focus on building fitness. “I had a cast on one hand, a splint on the other and my ankle was pretty much immobilized,” Raducanu said on Monday in relation to her recovery from last year’s surgeries, per the WTA.
” Raducanu will begin her grass-court campaign against Japan’s Ena Shibahara in Nottingham, England this week in preparation for Wimbledon – the third grand slam of the year – which begins on July 1. She said that she now has “zero apprehension” when hitting balls or thinking about her schedule having spent recent weeks conditioning her body. “It was important for me to take time to transition on to the grass, because the balls over the grass-court season are so heavy,” Raducanu added.
