Emma Raducanu has shown her true colours by demonstrating how much effort she is willing to put in on her return to tennis after eight months of injury torment. She prematurely ended an interview after her coach requested that she head back to the court as she gears up for a comeback at the Australian Open.
The Brit is currently in New Zealand where she will play her first professional tennis match since undergoing surgeries on both of her wrists earlier this year. She has been granted a wildcard for the ASB Classic next week in preparation for the first Grand Slam of the year in Melbourne.
The 21-year-old’s attitude and work ethic have often been questioned since she won the US Open in 2021, but Raducanu has demonstrated a desire to get back to her top form next year. The World No 298’s media commitments and endorsements have been focused on by her critics but she has shown a willingness to instead focus on the sport.
During a wide-ranging interview with Tatler, Raducanu cut their interview slightly short by saying towards the end: “I’m afraid I have to go—my coach just texted me and I have to get back on court.” Earlier in the conversation, Raducanu spoke at great length about her dedication to the sport and how she plans on returning to her best form
