Emma Raducanu will compete at the 2022 Korea Open in Seoul and ahead of the tournament, she was honest about her goals.
After winning her maiden Grand Slam title last year, the Brit lost more matches than she won this year and also according to her own words, it was a difficult one. The only WTA title that Emma Raducanu ever won in her career was the 2021 US Open and so ahead of the 2022 Korea Open in Seoul, she admitted that winning any title, even the WTA 250 one in Korea will certainly boost her confidence.
“I would obviously love to win a title, and to be honest, I think that it doesn’t matter at what level,” Raducanu said. “I think now just playing a lot of matches is something that I could really benefit from."
Former world number 10, also reflected on her 2022 season which she referred to as "the development year" and hopes that in the upcoming seasons, she will only profit from the experience she gained so far.
“I know that I was meant to go through the development year at some stage, and I completely skipped it last year, so I know that I need to do the hard yards now. And it’s sort of payback for winning the US Open with very little practice or work.”
