Emma
Raducanu is preparing to return to the court in the Billie Jean King Cup after
recovering from an injury. The 2021 US Open champion played at the Korea Open
six weeks ago, reaching the quarterfinals, but had to withdraw midway through
her match against Daria Kasatkina after twisting the ligaments in her left
foot.
Following
this, Raducanu decided to end her schedule in Asia, despite her initial plans
to compete in the WTA 1000 China Open and Wuhan Open. Nevertheless, her
recovery seems complete; she’s back in training and is expected to join Team
Great Britain against Germany starting November 13.
The former
World No. 10 has resumed training at the LTA’s National Tennis Centre, and all
indications are that she will travel with the team to Malaga. "Emma is
training well and being with the team next week is her focus," Raducanu’s
team mentioned, according to the Daily Mail.
Aiming for
the BJK Cup Finals is Raducanu’s goal to end the year. In April, she was a key
figure in Great Britain’s victory over France, winning her two singles matches
against Diane Parry and Caroline Garcia, just months after returning to the
Tour and still ranked outside the WTA top 200.
Raducanu
will likely play as the second singles player, as captain Anne Keothavong
considers Katie Boulter, currently World No. 23, as Britain’s No. 1. Boulter is
in great form, having reached the semifinals at the Tokyo Open and the final at
the Hong Kong Open. They will join doubles specialists Harriet Dart and Heather
Watson.
Team Great
Britain will face Germany, which will feature Tatjana Maria, Jule Niemeier,
Laura Siegemund, and Eva Lys. The winning team will go on to challenge
defending champions Canada, led by 2021 US Open runner-up Leylah Fernandez.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- 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
