Emma Raducanu, the British tennis star, was spotted taking a quiet stroll through the rainy streets of London, just two weeks after her emotional exit from the US Open. Dressed in a grey overcoat and pink shorts, Raducanu appeared to be trying to keep a low profile, carrying a hot drink as she walked.
The 21-year-old has struggled with injuries since her unexpected 2021 US Open victory, and her recent first-round defeat at the hands of Sofia Kenin was a tough blow. Despite her remarkable debut Grand Slam win three years ago, she has yet to find the same level of success on the international stage.
After her US Open loss, Raducanu admitted that her lack of match practice contributed to her early exit, acknowledging the importance of consistent playtime in building confidence and rhythm.
She also addressed her decision to return to London after Washington, D.C., rather than compete in the Cincinnati qualifiers, explaining that it was a collective decision made by her team. As she navigates this challenging period, Raducanu remains focused on regaining form and managing her schedule more effectively as she looks ahead to future tournaments.
