"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
WTAThursday, 11 January 2024 at 05:30
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."

- Love to listen to Mirra. However, I'm worried about her eyesight if she thinks oversized lips is "pretty".
mandoist06-09-2026 - One of the most amazing comebacks in a long, long time. It happens (and Keys shouldn't lose her crackers over this).
