“Back in form and ready to shine on the big stage, showing glimpses of the champion she once was.”

Emma Raducanu says she is back in her “happy place” as she prepares for the start of the US Open. The 2021 champion returns to Flushing Meadows with renewed energy after a difficult spell marked by injuries and inconsistent form.

Raducanu, who became a global star after her stunning title win in New York four years ago, admitted that the journey since then has been challenging. But with steady progress in recent months, she believes her game and mindset are moving in the right direction.

“I feel good, I’m enjoying my tennis again,” Raducanu said ahead of the tournament. “When I’m happy, I play my best tennis.”

The Briton faces a tough draw, but her focus is firmly on playing with freedom and building momentum. Fans are eager to see if Raducanu can recapture the form that made her a champion and spark another deep run in New York.
