How did Emma Raducanu win her first match at Indian Wells?
Raducanu has been trying to make a successful comeback. However, she has been unable to do that multiple times. And this has affected public opinion about her seriousness with respect to the sport. However, this time, her win during the first-round match at Indian Wells and her attitude throughout it shows something else.
Instead of a resilient or full-proof approach, Raducanu went against her opponent with a rather casual attitude. In an interview with BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra, she stated she was not feeling too well. And therefore, she stated, “Today before the match, I did not warm up.”

So, it definitely gives hope to her fans who have been excitedly waiting for her comeback. Because if she can defeat her opponent in an ailing situation, she can perform better when she is well.
