Emma Raducanu declared herself fit for Wimbledon where she faces a potentially tricky opening-round match having been drawn to play Alison Van Uytvanck.
She then went on to her fairytale win at the US Open but her 2022 season has been beset by a litany of injury problems, most recently her side strain. She is still bidding aged 40 to match the record 24 Grand Slam titles held by Margaret Court. There were concerns about her participation when she did not practice at the All England Club yesterday as she has done all week.
EMMA RADUCANU will face Alison van Uytvanck - who has already won two titles on grass - in her first match back at Wimbledon.
Raducanu has not spoken publicly since injuring herself in Nottingham, where she said: "The first game an absolute freak, I think I pulled something, I am not really sure what exactly happened. Raducanu is in the opposite half of the draw to world No 1 Iga Swiatek and 23-time Major champion Serena Williams so could only face them in the final, but has this year's Australian Open runner-up Danielle Collins and in-form world No 3 Ons Jabeur in her quarter. She was forced to retire injured seven games into her opening match at Nottingham against Viktorija Golubic after picking up a side injury.
The Wimbledon draw has been made and all eyes at the All England Club will be on Emma Raducanu But how kind has that draw been to her.
They are in the other half, and that would make for a kinder semi-final should she get there. That said, it was likely pre-planned to enable them both to get to Wimbledon a couple of days early. Another American, Danielle Collins, is projected for Raducanu in round four. Caroline Garcia is the projected opponent for Raducanu in round two. Fellow Brit Katie Swan is a possible opponent there, but it's more likely to be the 19th seed Madison Keys. That is a tricky opener, perhaps trickier than it initially sounds.
EMMA RADUCANU has struggled since her famous US Open triumph last year, and heads into Wimbledon with injury fears.
But I throw out one post in the car on the way to practice and all of a sudden it's 'I don't focus on tennis'. Raducanu has suffered a variety of injury setbacks, switched coaches three times in nine months and failed to win back-to-back matches at a major tournament. She then followed that up by creating history with her US Open success, becoming the first ever qualifier to win a Grand Slam singles title.
EMMA RADUCANU has been forced to leave "millions on the table" by snubbing sponsorship deals, according to her agent.And he also insists the British N.
"Emma decided that she wants to start her shoots at 12pm or 1pm and go until 8pm or 9pm and have the option in the morning to either train or work out or do some fitness." "I know from the outside, you guys want to look at all those things - but if she locked herself in the room for the whole year and didn't do anything, I think it would be the same." There are sponsors that have those days, but many of them don't use them. "But I think that if she had zero shoot dates, everything would be the same. "I would imagine by the end of the year the amount of days she uses will be around 13. "If she had zero shoot dates everything would be the same.

There are sponsors that have those days, but many of them don't use them. as he puts her mixed form down to 'bad luck' Emma Raducanu has struggled this year on the back of her incredible success at the US Open Her agent Max Eisenbud, of IMG, says her commercial interests are not a distraction to her on-court performances and that she has to say no to having over 18 sponsor days a year therefore leaving millions on the table.

“It’s been a tough year. “But if she locked herself in the room for the whole year and didn't do anything, I think it would be the same." “But I think that if she had zero shoot dates, everything would be the same. “She’s had a lot of injuries, not enough time on the court, and there’s plenty of pressure back at her home slam, the place where she didn’t return to the court to finish her match 12 months ago. “I’ve never seen the amount of excitement and companies that wanted to be in business with Emma after the US Open. A replacement had to be quickly found and a beaming Yuriko Miyazaki – who this year defected from Japan to Britain – took up the opportunity to play a high-calibre opponent on a prestigious show court.
