Raducanu took some time off to recover from an injury, but is eyeing a return at the Stuttgart Open in two weeks. During her hiatus, the British No.1 took to Instagram to share some photos from a race track, while also adding a throwback picture of herself donning a suit and helmet as a child.

"Reviving the cooler Emma in a different type of workout,” she wrote.

Furthermore, Raducanu posed in a racing suit while wearing a Porsche helmet - one of her sponsors - and shared a photo of a camera screen, perhaps hinting that she was filming something behind-the-scenes.
