"I'm a loner, I'm finding out alone about myself" - Raducanu on life on Tour

Emma Raduanu is not dealing with a lot of people in recent weeks as she travels the Tour and it's allowing her to find out who she really is.

Life on Tour can get very lonely at times but for Raducanu that's not a problem. Speaking ahead of the Rome Masters, Emma said:

"I'd describe myself as a loner. For the past year... I've had a lot of people around me a lot and very often. To be on my own is interesting because I'm kind of finding out a lot about myself, understanding what I need and what I don't need.'

On clay tennis, she said:

"Clay is very new to me. I definitely feel like I have been progressing with each week, improving, getting a better understanding of how to play points, when to stay in the point or when to stay aggressive. I don't think I'm like the finished product at all. But, yeah, I'm heading in a good direction."

He first match in Rome comes againt Bianca Andreescu. They both played well in Madrid.
