At the Wimbledon 2024 press conference, Emma Raducanu expressed her excitement to be back at the tournament after missing it last year due to hospitality work. She found it difficult to watch her peers practice and play while she was away, and admitted that she didn’t watch much tennis during that time. Raducanu emphasized the importance of having a strong support system during injuries and the challenge of staying patient and not rushing back. She then discussed her upcoming match and expressed admiration for Andy Murray’s determination to play despite recent spinal surgery.
Raducanu, who enjoys playing on grass courts, spent time training on grass before the French Open and aims to improve her clay-court game. Upon returning to Wimbledon, she found inspiration in the peaceful atmosphere and the momentum building among British players like Jack Draper and Katie Boulter. Raducanu reflected on the benefits of participating in the Eastbourne tournament before Wimbledon, which provided top-level matches and a confidence-boosting win. She emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum and focusing on the present to make the most of her time at Wimbledon.
