Emma Raducanu fitness update after latest injury setback

Emma Raducanu is on track to make her return to competitive tennis, with her team providing a positive update on her fitness ahead of the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. The 21-year-old, who has been sidelined since mid-September due to a foot injury sustained at the Korea Open, has been working hard to recover.

Raducanu’s injury initially seemed minor, but it forced her to withdraw from several tournaments, including the China Open, Wuhan Open, and Hong Kong Open, as well as missing the final WTA events of the season.

After wearing a protective boot on her injured foot, the former US Open champion has focused on rehabilitation, training at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton in preparation for the upcoming international event.

Raducanu’s recovery appears to be progressing well, and she has been named in Anne Keothavong’s Great Britain squad for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals, set to take place in Malaga starting November 15.

Having played a crucial role in securing Great Britain’s qualification earlier this year, Raducanu is eager to return to the court. Despite the setbacks, including a first-round exit at the US Open and a lack of pre-tournament warm-ups, her commitment to the team and determination to recover for the Finals reflects her resilience.

Her team’s statement confirms that Raducanu is focused on her goal of being fully fit for the competition, where she will join her teammates in a tie against Germany.
