Emma Raducanu talks about her recovery process after surgery and plans for strong return

Emma Raducanu recently opened up about how she is dealing with her long absence from tennis due to multiple surgeries and what she aims to accomplish in the 2024 season.

In an interview with former British No. 1 Laura Robson on Amazon Prime Video, Raducanu talked about her recovery process, her mental state, and her aspirations for the future.

Raducanu said that she has been putting a lot of effort into her rehab, and gradually improving. She called the process "slow and repetitive" but is driven by the long-term goal of getting back to the court.

"The process is so slow and repetitive," Raducanu said. "Sometimes it's really hard to just not get bored of it and just keep in mind the long-term end goal. And just keeping that in mind just keeps you going even on the days you don't feel like."

Raducanu also said that she feels more mentally ready to compete now than she ever did before or after her dream run at the 2021 US Open.

"It was difficult to train. Like for example, if it was just a wrist, you could run or still do other things. So in the beginning, it was very much quite sedentary. I feel like mentally, I'm in a better place to compete now than I ever have been before or since the US Open," she added.
