Home Raducanu and her most honest confession: “I am more grateful for my health than for..”

British tennis star Emma Raducanu recently shared an honest reflection about the challenges she’s faced over the past year, prioritizing health over success. Since her last match in Seoul, where she suffered a ligament injury that has kept her out of the ongoing Asian tennis circuit, Raducanu has been candid about the physical and mental struggles she’s endured.

In a conversation with one of her sponsors, HSBC, she opened up about her tough journey in 2023, a year that saw her undergo three surgeries and face an unexpectedly prolonged recovery period. Originally hoping to return to the court after four months, her recovery ultimately spanned eight, teaching her a crucial lesson about patience and the risks of rushing back too soon.

Raducanu has acknowledged the mental toll of being sidelined, emphasizing the difficulty of watching the tennis world continue without her. “When you’re out, it’s like watching everything pass by,” she revealed, describing the isolation she felt during recovery. This time off has shifted her perspective, making her more appreciative of her health than any on-court results.

Although she won’t compete in the WTA for the rest of the season, Raducanu hopes to represent Great Britain in the Billie Jean King Cup 2024 Finals. For now, her focus remains on fully regaining her strength, allowing her to return to competition without compromising her long-term health.
