Henman warns Raducanu not to rush return after surgery: "She's got to be 100% fit"

Tim Henman has urged Emma Raducanu not to rush her return to the court after her surgery which has seen niggling issues on both wrists as well as ankle operated on.
There is no certain return date as of yet but Henman believes that she can use that time wisely to get her coaching setup sorted ahead of a return.
‘From Emma’s point of view, she’s had these three surgeries, she’s going to be out of the game for some time,’ Henman told Metro.co.uk. ‘It’s a really good opportunity for her to get that structure right.
‘That includes a tennis coach, a physio and a fitness trainer. Hopefully that’s something she will implement so when she is ready to come back and work on her game he’s got a good team around her.’
But a return that he hopes she will not rush and will only take when she is 100% healthy and ready to play instead of potentially aggravating the injury again.
‘It’s related to if she is healthy," he continued.
‘If she’s healthy, has done all the rehabilitation and fitness work and she is ready to play, then play.
‘If she’s not, then don’t play. It’s going to be dictated by her body. She’s got to be 100 per cent fit.’
