Emma Raducanu Returns to Form at Queen's Club

Emma Raducanu is back in form after a successful run to the HSBC Championships final at Queen's Club. She will be well rested for Wimbledon, having opted not to take a wild card into Eastbourne.

What happened at Queen's Club?

Raducanu played outstanding tennis, going on a streak of victories without losing a set until her defeat in three sets against Donna Vekic in the final. She beat Russian qualifier Anna Blinkova in the opening round and upset Iva Jovic to make the final.

Why it matters for Emma Raducanu

The tournament marked her biggest run at a tour event since her victory as a qualifier in the 2021 US Open. Raducanu suffered a severe post-viral illness that caused her to miss tournaments in Miami, Madrid, and Rome, and had just one win under her belt since March.

What comes next for Emma Raducanu?

Raducanu is seeded 30th at Wimbledon and enjoys her home comforts, giving her genuine hope of another deep run. She is back collaborating with US Open-winning coach Andrew Richardson, which could bring stability to her game. Raducanu threw the kitchen sink at world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a Wimbledon third-round thriller last year. She is grateful for the support she received at Queen's Club and is looking forward to playing at home. The 23-year-old is feeling positive about her game, saying "I'm back and better" after her run to the final at Queen's. Raducanu's first-round exit in an error-strewn display against Argentina's Solana Sierra at the French Open is now behind her. She is focusing on the grass court season and is excited to take on the challenge at Wimbledon. As the British No 1, Raducanu has a lot of pressure on her, but she is ready to embrace it and make a deep run at Wimbledon.
