Emma Raducanu is only days away from an official return to tennis, and a lot of people are excited to see what will happen.
There have been very few players in recent years that have been as polarizing as Emma Raducanu. Her sudden rise was one of the most spectacular things the average tennis fan saw up until that point, so she became a star overnight.
As sudden as her rise was, her crashdown was a bit slower and took a while. Injuries, coaching changes, and bad performances all contributed to it, but it was mostly injuries because when she did play, she wasn't particularly bad, she just never was fully healthy.
2024 is supposed to change because she took a long time off to really get her body ready for tennis, and we're days away from finding out if she did. Former player Tim Henman thinks patience will be key for her in her comeback, which makes sense. There will be ups and downs, but the end goal is what matters.
I think patience is a really important word for Emma Raducanu herself, but also all the people that are excited to see her come back. She's 21 years of age. She's got the next 10 years in front of her. She just needs to build that foundation so that she can get out on tour and compete and show the undeniable talents that she has.
Contrary to his own advice about patience, Henman is super excited about seeing Raducanu back on the courts because she is truly electrifying when in her element. You don't lose that overnight, do you? Find out in a few days by sticking with Tennis Infinity.
Yeah, it's massively exciting to have Raducanu coming back. I think it's important that everybody around tennis who's a fan, who's excited to see Raducanu back on the court, manages their expectations.
