Raducanu in cryptic tweet surrounding tennis comeback: "Today was a good day"

Emma Raducanu shared a cryptic message on Twitter about her return to tennis.

The former world No. 10 has been away from the courts since April of this year when she participated in the Stuttgart Open on clay and suffered a defeat in the first round against former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko with a score of 2-6, 1-6.

After playing only five tournaments this year due to physical complications, Raducanu decided to undergo surgery in May on both her wrists and one of her ankles. With some uncertainty surrounding Raducanu's comeback to the WTA tour, there was little clarity about her return to competition, although she has been seen with bandages on her hands recently.

The 20-year-old tennis player shared a message on Twitter, updating her fans about her work to make a comeback to competitive play.

“Today was a good day - 🧽🎾”

Emma Raducanu will make her return to the tennis court in the exhibition event in Macao, China in December of this year. She has been confirmed to participate in the mixed tournament that will take place at the East Asian Games Dome.

Several other top players will also be participating in the event, including the local 23-year-old player Yibing Wu and American top-10 players Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe. Swiss Olympic medalist Belinda Bencic, who won a medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, will also be part of the tournament.

The presence of Raducanu and Yibing Wu, who won the ATP 250 Dallas Open this year, has been highlighted by Luiz Carvalho, the Senior Vice President of IMG:

“Emma’s Chinese roots and her remarkable rise to stardom by winning the US Open have made her a global sensation, while Wu Yibing’s historic feat as the first Chinese national to win an ATP tournament has significantly elevated his standing in world tennis," Carvalho said.
