Keeps humor up through recovery

Nevertheless, Raducanu seems to be doing well as she looks towards getting back to form and returning to tournaments. Along with her funny incognito post, the Brit also shared a picture of her wearing a T-shirt displaying the word 'Progress' along the back, captioning the post 'A week of what the t-shirt says.'

In addition to this, Raducanu joked about how her busy schedule has meant that she has switched out M&S Colin the Caterpillar sweets, which she has previously been spotted with, for a cake version, posting a photo of Sainsbury's Wiggles the Caterpillar with the caption,
