Raducanu goes incognito in bid to shun limelight travelling on public transport during recovery
Tennis News
Emma Raducanu has donned shades on public transport in an effort to stay out of the limelight whilst she recovers from injuries.
Former British No. 1 Raducanu has had a difficult time of late with her tennis career. She soared up the ranks a couple of years ago, culminating in her victory at the 2021 US Open final against Leylah Fernandez.
However, she has been plagued with injuries since her fairytale run at Flushing Meadows, and this season the former world No. 10 was forced to withdraw from the French Open and Wimbledon in order to have surgery on her wrists and ankle.

Raducanu goes incognito
Despite her recent absence from the court, Raducanu appears to remain in good spirits as she works on recovering from surgery. The 20-year-old jokingly shared a photo of herself in a pulled-up hoodie and sunglasses on a bus as she traveled to rehab for her injuries, implying she is trying to disguise herself.
However, whilst the picture has fun connotations, it also acts as a reminder of the intense scrutiny that the young player has received from fans and the media since her breakthrough season two years ago, something which she has admitted to struggling with in the past.

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,
"Daily workouts with rush hr commutes meant i cheated on colin."

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
mandoist31-10-2026 - Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.
