Raducanu aims to avoid injury woes in 2023: "I just want to stay healthier for longer"

Emma Raducanu saw her public profile explode after her unexpected triumph at the US Open and in her case, not all publicity was good publicity necessarily.

British media is quite famous around the world as they can be rather harsh towards public persons and Raducanu saw that once her results faltered. She handled the pressure quite well off the court and in a recent interview she admitted that she's proud of the way she handled some of those headlines:

“Professionally speaking, I’m very proud of my resilience this year. I’ve faced quite a bit of adversity and I’ve had to keep getting back up a lot.

She added:

“So much stuff is said about me that isn’t true, but I try not to let it affect me. The past year has meant getting used to that side of things – the publicity and hearing all these things I never even knew about myself! The attention on the tour is so intense.”

2023 will be a pivotal year for her career but she'll need to stay healthy which she hasn't been able to do in 2022.
