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.”
