Emma Raducanu wears Tottenham jersey during Stuttgart practice

Emma Raducanu was pictured in a Tottenham shirt while preparing for the Stuttgart Open, allaying fears over the blisters that hampered her Billie Jean King Cup tournament last week.

Raducanu was beaten 6-1 6-1 by the Vondrousova as a foot blister caused her to limp through the contest. She had previously defeated Tereza Martincova in her tournament debut. The US Open champion’s progress since that remarkable Flushing Meadows victory has been hindered by successive injuries.

Fears of Raducanu missing out on this week’s Stuttgart Open have eased after she was seen training in a Spurs shirt. The WTA tweeted a video of the 19-year-old donning the jersey, which had ‘Raducanu 10’ printed on the back.

Raducanu is known to be a Spurs fan and received a congratulatory tweet from striker Harry Kane after winning the US Open last September. The England captain wrote: “Amazing achievement @EmmaRaducanu. Done yourself and the whole country proud. Congratulations!”
