"The results don't matter as long as she's healthy": Laura Robson shares hope for fellow Brit Emma Raducanu on return to tennis with no expectation

Former Britain’s tennis player and now Eurosport expert Laura Robson has stated that she is happy to see Emma Raducanu return to the court.

The 21-year-old has recently returned to the court after a lengthy injury layoff and participated in the ASB Classic in Auckland to prepare for the Australian Open.

Robson was recently quoted in a report where she stated that for her, Raducanu’s results do not matter as she is playing at the highest level after a long time but instead what’s more important is for her to enjoy the sport.

"I know how hard she's worked over the last, probably eight or nine months since her surgery, and to have all of those things done at one time, she was out of action, she was on crutches and she had a wrist cast on, she had an ankle boot on,” she said.

“I've seen her a little bit at the National Centre in London and she's been hitting the ball so cleanly. She's been working really hard in the gym and she has a coach that she's worked with in the past with her at the moment.

“I think if you have that comfort of knowing each other really well, knowing that you have that support from the side, which always makes a difference.

“I'm just really happy for her. As someone who's really struggled with injuries in the past, to see her really shine again on the court and be pain free, that's the most important thing. For the next six months at least, I really think the results don't matter as long as she's healthy."
