Emma Raducanu will play her first event since winning the US Open at Indian Wells and the Brit is pretty excited for what she termed 'the next challenge'.
Emma Raducanu was away from tennis for a while after winning the US Open in order to rest up and get ready for what comes next. Well, that next has arrived with WTA Indian Wells even starting today and Raducanu will play for the first time since the US Open here. Speaking on that ahead of the event she said:
"Yeah, I'm ready for the next challenge. I had such a great time in New York and an amazing experience. It started to sink in gradually, but I think I still will need time for it to fully sink in. But yeah, it's a great place here and I can't wait to get started."
Raducanu also spoke about her success at the US Open as she had time to digest it explaining that the form displayed at Flushing Meadows was a product of a lot of work and gradual build-up with weeks of tennis played before the event:
"I think the form that I had in New York was a gradual build-up of so many weeks of tennis, and I think that definitely helped that playing a lot of matches. But yeah, we'll see what the future holds."
She was careful not to put high expectations on herself especially since she is returning after not playing for a few weeks now. She will also be playing without her coach and that is another adjustment she will have to make.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
