"I want to work on becoming a better tennis player": Emma Raducanu not concerned about tournament results on return to tennis

Emma Raducanu admits she is not worried about results in tournaments, but more about developing her game as she continues her return. Raducanu was speaking in California ahead of Indian Wells where she will play qualifier Rebeka Masarova in the first round.

"I want to work on becoming a better tennis player," Raducanu said. "I think for me I'm not too concerned about this year's tournaments. A lot of people out there would say that I need matches, but I think that for me I want to work on my game and development."

Raducanu has won three matches in 2024 so far. Last year she reached the fourth round at Indian Wells, one month before needing surgery on both of her wrists which would lead to an eight month injury layoff. "It's just a bit of a journey for me, I would say, you don't really know what to expect after being out for eight months," she added.

"I felt like because I was so go-go-go since December, I felt like I became a little fatigued, so it was good to go back, freshen up and practise for the American swing, which I'm a big fan of."
