Emma Raducanu teaches tennis lesson from 4,000 miles away<\/h3>\n

Emma Raducanu has insisted she is in a better place than at any other time since she stunned the tennis world by lifting the US Open trophy as an 18-year-old in 2021. The 20-year-old is nearing a return to action after missing the last six-and-a-half months through injury.<\/p>\n

Raducanu turned into an overnight sensation when she defied the odds to become the first qualifier in history to win a Grand Slam title. The Bromley ace won three qualifiers and seven matches in the main draw without dropping a single set to lift the trophy at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n

Her fortunes nosedived after the tournament, however, as she was plagued by injuries and a lack of form. And earlier this year she was forced to undergo surgery on both her wrists as well as an ankle.<\/p>\n

Raducanu, who has been unable to progress past the second round of a Grand Slam since her success in New York, hasn\u2019t played a competitive match since losing to Jelena Ostapenko at the Stuttgart Open in April. But she is very optimistic about her future following her injury hiatus.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was difficult to train after the surgeries, so it was very sedentary in the beginning,\u201d she explained during an interview with Amazon Prime. \u201cThrough the whole period, I\u2019ve been doing a lot off court, reading a lot and watching some tennis. Mentally, I feel like I\u2019m in a better place to compete now than I ever have been before since the US Open.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hoping to get back on board for next season. I know it\u2019s going to be difficult when you haven\u2019t competed for a long time, like almost a year. It\u2019s going to probably take me some tournaments to get up to speed. But, once I do, I think I\u2019m in a better headspace to compete now.\u201d<\/p>\n
