Emma Raducanu expressed her evolving independence and intuition ahead of her Italian Open match, reflecting on her career journey post-injuries. Now within the WTA top 50, she's balancing tennis ambitions with a return to academics, seeking fulfillment beyond the court. Following surgeries that paused her career, she's prioritizing a well-rounded life to ensure stable performance. Raducanu contemplates further studies, indicating that engaging in academics may provide the pressure and motivation she needs to thrive both personally and professionally.
I am very independent and I think now I'm actually just listening to myself and my intuition more... I didn't feel like I could just trust what I felt.
Being one of the 50 best players in the world is an achievement in itself, but it remains to be seen if she can rise higher.
Raducanu has come to the conclusion that any further success will come by prioritising balance in her personal life rather than overworking herself.
I feel like I need some sort of pressure and adrenaline in that sense of my life. I think it'll be a good escape.
