Emma
Raducanu has expressed confidence as she prepares for Wimbledon, discussing her
chances at the All England Club. The 2021 US Open champion missed the grass
season last year due to surgeries on both wrists and an ankle, which ended her
season prematurely.
Despite an
impressive start to the clay swing with significant wins in the Billie Jean
King Cup and Stuttgart Open, the British player is not participating in the
French Open. Her ranking left her as the third alternate, and the organisers
chose to award wildcards to lower-ranked local players.
Raducanu focused on Wimbledon
The
21-year-old has competed in the main draw at Wimbledon twice. In 2021, Raducanu
reached the fourth round, a precursor to her subsequent US Open triumph. The
following year, she was eliminated in the second round by Caroline Garcia.
Raducanu
remains optimistic as she prepares for the grass tournaments, a surface she
feels comfortable on: "I'm doing a lot of good things and I know it's
going to happen. If not this Wimbledon, next Wimbledon. No one ever knows when
it's going to show up."
Emma Raducanu played his last match at Madrid Open, she lost against Maria Lourdes Carlé (2-6, 2-6).
“I feel
good, I'm playing well, and I'm training really hard,” she told Grazia.
"But I'm doing a lot of good things and I've put in a lot of work – it's
heading in a good place. I fully back myself and trust myself. It's just a
matter of when really."
Raducanu
plans to make her return to the courts at the upcoming Nottingham Open, which
begins on 8 June: "I've been doing the right things and I'm just looking
forward to playing in front of a home crowd,” she added.

- 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

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!!

- 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
