Emma Raducanu travelled to Auckland, New Zealand, recently to play in the ASB Classic. To get ready for her next matches, she has already begun preparing for the competition with a rigorous practice session.
Raducanu hasn’t been able to play since April 2023 due to injuries. She only participated in five tournaments this season; the Stuttgart Open was her most recent outing, where Jelena Ostapenko defeated her in the first round. But after surgery, the British person is back on her feet.
Now, she’s utilizing her last few days before the ASB Classic begins on January 1 and continues until January 7. Raducanu is seen working hard on the practice courts in recent photos shared by an X user.
In the WTA 250 competition, Raducanu has been given a wildcard. Many top tennis players, including Caroline Wozniacki, Amanda Anisimova, Elina Svitolina, and 2023 US Open champion Coco Gauff, will join Raducanu.
