Emma Raducanu reaps rewards after injury hell with Billie Jean King Cup stunner: "I knew it would pay off eventually"

Britain’s tennis star Emma Raducanu has expressed satisfaction after producing the goods for the team in the Billie Jean King Cup. The 21-year-old has recently returned to action after a gap of more than one year as she struggled with numerous fitness concerns in the recent past.

Raducanu recently took part in the competition where she played a big role in helping the side in securing the place in the finals where she ended up saving a couple of match points as well against the France’s Diane Parry. The former world number 10 was quoted after the match where she stated that it feels good and especially mentioned how she has worked behind the scenes in order to produce performances like that in the recent past.

“Yeah it does, it does [feel good]," she said, "I think I need to shout out Ian at home who has been working with me every single day in the last recovery since surgery. I think to be able to put two matches like that back-to-back, three sets and on clay against really top opponents. It’s just a testament to the work we’ve been doing and I knew it would pay off eventually so I’m very pleased that this weekend it was able to show."
