2 Years After Accidental Triumph, US Open Champion Emma Raducanu Looks Set to Break Bad Form as She Shares Glimpse of Her Untouched Kit

Think about a qualifier winning a Grand Slam title, and the odds will be completely against you. However, 20-year-old Emma Raducanu sprung a surprise for the ages at the 2021 US Open. Entering the tournament as a qualifier, the British tennis beauty put on solid performances one after the other to clinch the biggest victory of her career. She defeated Canada’s Leylah Fernandez to win her maiden Grand Slam title. Additionally, she did so without dropping a set during the tournament.

Fast forward now, the 20-year-old has failed to replicate her US Open victory. She hasn’t made it past the second round at Grand Slams since 2022. Additionally, this year has been an injury-laden year for her. Recently, she provided a glimmer of hope to her fans.

With the US Open not very far away, Raducanu shared a cryptic post with her fans. The British star is very active on social media and regularly keeps her fans updated as she steps up her recovery ahead of her comeback.

While the British tennis beauty is aiming to make a comeback as soon as possible, this is not the only time she has hinted about returning to the court.
