For nearly a complete yr, Emma Raducanu has been working to return again from harm.

The final time she performed was on the Stuttgart Open in April of 2023. At that event, she was crushed by Jelena Ostapenko within the first spherical 6-2, 6-1. Accidents have plagued the younger British star all through her quick profession, and particularly after her shock US Open win in 2021 on the tender age of 18. Since then, the expectations and the accidents have labored towards the proficient Raducanu.

Good for her for lastly going below the knife to deal with among the points she had been having. So, now that she appears wholesome and match, what does the long run maintain for her. After seeing play four-touch matches towards high quality opponents down below, and particularly after the lengthy layoff, I feel 2023 will likely be a banger of a yr for Raducanu.

Down below she performed each the ASB Classis and the Australian Open. What was particularly spectacular was her spherical of 16 match towards Elina Svitolina within the spherical of 16. On this match she showcased her energy, grit, dedication, health, and shot-making, all within the span of two hours towards a prime participant. Raducanu got here near profitable this match in straight units. The ultimate rating right here was 6-7, 7-6, 6-1. Raducanu ran out of gasoline within the third set. Nevertheless, those that watched have been handled to among the best matches we’ve seen from her since 2021.

Though, she didn’t play as properly on the Australian Open, she was nonetheless in a position to attain the second spherical after disposing of Shelby Rodgers, a high quality opponent, in straights. She succumbed to Wang in three hard-fought units. This can be a match she might of simply have gained if she was a bit extra match robust. However the match toughness will include extra event play. Because of this I’m pegging Raducanu to have one other nice breakout yr. I predict she goes deep on the Slams, and who is aware of, possibly she nabs one other US Open in 2023.

Both manner, preserve your eye on Emma Radacanu in 2023.
