Nearly four months after having wrist and ankle surgeries Emma Raducanu is back on the practice courts and hitting tennis balls.
The former British No. 1 has been out of competition for some time. She revealed at the beginning of May that she had undergone surgery on her ankle and wrists to treat persistent physical issues and that she planned to make a comeback in the last stages of the 2023 season.
Followers spotted her on tennis courts in China, where Raducanu looks to be hard at work in private practice on an outdoor hard court.
In a recent video, Raducanu can be seen practicing her service in her mother’s hometown.

Located in northeast China, it is blessed with a cool summer. Something like English summer, no? pic.twitter.com/0mAreZtIEy
