Britain’s young tennis star Emma Raducanu has stated that she is eager to win a title of any grade in 2024.

The 21-year-old has recently returned to tennis after a gap of nearly one year as she completed her recovery from different fitness concerns. Raducanu was recently quoted in a report where she stated that her objective in 2024 is to win a title at any level.

“For me, success would be seeing my level improving in practice first and then in matches," she said. "I know that when my level will be there, putting it into a match will take some time to apply. But I know that seeing the level increase, that results will follow. Also, I would love to win a title of any grade.

“I’m still finding my feet on the match court, I’m not fully there but that will come with time. I’m very patient and very grateful to enjoy what I’m doing.

“I’m just trying to improve my game because I’m not the finished product, far from it. I feel like now is the time to start because I’ve had some illness and injuries over the couple of years since [winning the US Open], so I’m looking forward to working on my game, improving my level and the results will take care of themselves.”

Raducanu also expressed frustration about not being able to practice regularly because of a wrist injury. “I’ve never really had the chance to do proper training weeks back-to-back,” she said. “For six or seven months, before I ended up having the surgeries, I was only practicing one or two hours a day just to limit the load on the wrists.

“In a way, it’s frustrating that the last couple of years haven’t been how I’ve wanted but I think we take a lesson from everything and now is the time to start that work, and I’m really enjoying it.”
