Emma Raducanu looks glum as she tries to go under the radar during a stroll in London—two weeks after the British star’s tearful US Open exit
- The British ace endured a drizzly walk around London after her US Open exit
- Emma Raducanu was previously emotional after her first-round defeat
- The 21-year-old has been plagued by injuries since winning the title in 2021
Merely two weeks following her first-round loss at Flushing Meadows in the US Open, British tennis star Emma Raducanu braved a somber stroll in the rain.
Three years ago, Raducanu shocked everyone by winning his first Grand Slam title in the United States, but he has mostly struggled with injuries thereafter.
The 21-year-old, who was overcome with emotion when she left the US Open, has mostly avoided the spotlight since arriving back in London following her most recent setback at a significant competition.
Raducanu is still awaiting her first triumph in an international championship since taking home the trophy in 2021—her lone Grand Slam final triumph.
The tennis champion, who was born in Canada, dressed correctly as the rain dripped across the capital of England over the weekend, despite the unsatisfactory British weather.
During her stroll through London, Raducanu wore pink shorts and a grey topcoat.
Following her defeat at the US Open, Emma Raducanu sobs in a press conference.
Raducanu, disguised by a grey overcoat and pink shorts, walked through the streets with a hot drink, passing by a number of buildings and street lighting.
Raducanu is increasing the amount of time she spends on the court competing, and this was her first match since August 2, when Sofia Kenin eliminated her from the US Open.
After the defeat, she clarified that not having enough playing time before the prestigious tournament that had previously crowned her winner wasn’t the best preparation.
This was Raducanu’s first competitive match since her US Open elimination on August 2.
Raducanu said, “I would have preferred to probably play a little bit more before coming into the US Open.”
Like any player, I know that after a string of successful matches, you feel great and like everything goes without a hitch. Thus, yes, I believe I can use what I’ve learned from it and adjust how I handle my schedule.
When asked if he or the team made the choice to head back to London after Washington instead of participating in the qualifying round in Cincinnati, Raducanu said, “I would say it wasn’t me.”
It was more of a plea for unity, and that is exactly what transpired. In actuality, you cannot alter it.
