Emma Raducanu will return to competitions on Friday after being out for more than 2 months. Emma will face Ons Jabeur in Abu Dhabi at 8 p.m. during the Mubadala World Tennis Championship.
The 2021 US Open champion spent 2 months building her fitness without touching the racket after injuring her right wrist.
During a recent interview, Emma said that she is curious to understand how her body will react after spending so much time at the gym focusing on her fitness.
“I’ve put in a two-month fitness block and I am looking forward to seeing how that takes me into 2023. Tennis-wise, I took two months not touching a racket due to a wrist injury and now it’s about building that back up for me,” said Raducanu.
Emma conceded that she was not happy with her fitness in 2022 after struggling with a lot of injuries.
“In the previous season,” she added. “I had a huge challenge to stay physically fit, but this is a big goal for me in 2023. My main target for next season is staying on court and staying healthy for longer and just being able to give myself the best chance for every match.”
