Raducanu sets goal to win title to add to US Open in 2023: "I'm in a better position but it's still going to take some time"

Emma Raducanu has set her goals for the upcoming 2023 season as she expects to do much better as she's finally healthy and ready physically for the challenge.

This year wasn't very successful for Raducanu who didn't anticipate much success as she was gearing up for her first full professional season. This time around it's different. She worked really hard in the off-season and feels like her body is ready to take on the challenge of a full tennis season. She spoke about it in Abu Dhabi and she also revealed her goals for 2023:

"One of my biggest goals is to – it might not come this year, but to go out on the court and not think about my fitness, not think about, Oh, like start the timer, I've got 60 minutes to finish this match. I want to be able to go out there and just focus on the tennis. I think this year I'm in a better position but it's still going to take some time to develop fully. I think my goal in 2023 is probably to win a title."
