"When it rains, it pours" - Raducanu on her injuries
WTA
Emma Raducanu has a wrist problem but hopes to play at the Indian Wells Open despite yet another injury.
Raducanu battled ailments for a large portion of last year, which prevented her from playing frequently or developing any sort of form. The British player is dealing with a wrist problem as she prepares for her first-round match at the 2023 Indian Wells Open, so history repeats itself.
Although it is hoped that she will be able to play at the WTA 1000, nobody is certain that she will really hit the court, especially after she spoke about her struggles, as per BBC.
"The same issue that I had last year has started to flare back up. I'm going to do everything I can to be there tomorrow. I think we always play through pain and it's just a matter of how much can you take - I'm looking forward to hopefully being out there tomorrow."- Raducanu on her injury
The initial injury forced Raducanu to miss the end of the season, including the Billie Jean King Cup in Glasgow. It was a huge disappointment because she hoped to play on native soil and help her country at the event.
Unfortunately, injuries are nothing new for her. She's had plenty last year, and this is the second one this year after an ankle injury in Australia. Last week, she pulled out of the ATX Open in Austin due to tonsillitis, which she referenced during the talk with the media as well.
"It affected me bad for the short term so I haven't prepared much. I've probably never felt so sick in my life. When it rains, it pours. This and the infection - it's obviously a challenge."- Raducanu on her Indian Wells preparation
"My preparation hasn't been ideal. I played on the weekend and then I rested it - it's how you manage things when you aren't prepared."
