Emma Raducanu is set to return to tennis at the start of January, and many are excited to see what she can do and whether she can be competitive.
It's been a very long time since Raducanu last stood on a tennis court, and after taking a rather conservative approach to her injuries, people wonder what will happen once she does.
Triple surgery was no joke, and it took a long time to get back on a tennis court, so there is reason for optimism. Even when she was bothered by the injuries, Raducanu showcased her typical attacking tennis, which still worked well.
It's not impossible to imagine her returning in pretty good shape and winning again. If all goes well, Casper Ruud wouldn't be surprised as he could see the Brit challenging for Grand Slams again, as he talked about the Brit, as per the Express.
Is Emma fit again? Is she going to play Australia? She’s a potential to probably win another Slam I think, for sure. If she’s doing a good pre-season.
One thing about Raducanu's game you can't deny is that it's quite very 'to the point.' Ruud described it as explosive, which can overwhelm a lot of players, especially when she keeps bombarding from the baseline.
That's an approach that can work well, but it will take her time to get to that level. The potential is there, though.
[It’s] explosive. And I think also if you see her moving around on the court, she’s really good. When we watched her win the US Open, that was something that stood out.
For now, Raducanu hasn't played any preseason matches, but she's supposed to play in Auckland, where she injured one of her ankles last year.
Hopefully, things will go much better this time around, and we will see her playing tennis regularly. She'll need it as she has to go through qualifying to play at the Australian Open.
