Emma Raducanu has shared positive signs ahead of her return to the sport after missing a majority of the 2023 season due to injury.

The 2021 US Open champion has had a difficult time on the WTA Tour over the last two years, with injuries and multiple coaching changes hindering her success. She last competed at the Stuttgart Open in April where she lost to Jelena Ostapenko in the first round.

Shortly afterward, Raducanu announced that she was taking a break from the sport to undergo surgery on her wrists and ankle. Since then, she has been recovering and recently returned to training.
