After Emma Raducanu gave hope to Great Britain's Billie Jean King Cup team on Friday, she lost her match on Saturday, and Great Britain lost the tie against the Czech Republic.
Raducanu lost to Marketa Vondrousova in her second match at the 2022 Billie Jean King Cup after previously overcoming Tereza Martincova on Friday.
However, her defeat to Vondrousova was a significant one as Great Britain was just one match away from losing the tie, and the Brit managed to win only two games during the match.
After the match, she explained that she had blisters bothering her that impacted her performance. According to Racucanu, she now "needs to evaluate her options."
"I've had a few blisters on my feet before. I'm going to need to go and evaluate all my options. This has happened quite a few times now and we need to nip it in the bud."
"It kind of showed up after yesterday's match. We've been managing it but as you saw I couldn't really move or load either way and now it's just about trying to get it better as soon as possible."
According to the Brit, the blisters that troubled her compromised every shot, and that's why she was unable to counter the Czech player.
"It was compromising every shot I had to play. It's very disappointing when you’re out there playing a rubber for your country and you feel completely redundant."
"Of course it's frustrating but in some sort of twisted way it gives me a sense of confidence and relief that I don't think it's my tennis that's the issue. As soon as I sort all of these out and keep building on my tennis level then I think I'll be able to put out good matches back to back."
