Raducanu, about Murray: "It's incredible what he has achieved, he is an inspiration"
Emma acknowledges the great work of the British tennis player and discusses aspects to improve for the upcoming grass court season.
After a rather unnoticed clay court tour, Emma Raducanu is aiming to find better sensations on grass. The British player, currently ranked 37th in the WTA Ranking, will try to gain confidence at the 2025 WTA Queen's tournament, with the possibility of re-entering the Top 30 if she goes far in the event.
Emma, as she has mentioned several times in recent months, is trying to relieve herself of the pressure that hinders her progress and is taking advantage of her injury-free period on the court. She is also competing in the doubles category at the London tournament.
"I must say I have been very focused, so I am very pleased with my performance. I was a bit nervous at the beginning of the match, it was my first time playing on this court at Queen's in London. The support has been incredible," affirmed Raducanu in statements reported by TNT Sports.
First time at Queen's
"I would say I am still trying to find my rhythm on this surface. There are certain shots where I feel they are below the desired level, so I am working on it. I knew the first-round match would be very tough; in fact, I lost to Cristina (Bucsa) earlier this year, so I tried to fight and make sure it didn't happen again. I want to stay here playing at Queen's and play as many matches as I can."
Andy Murray Court
During the Queen's tournament, the main court was renamed the Andy Murray Court in tribute to the British tennis player for his outstanding career: "It's incredible what Andy has achieved in his career. He is an inspiration to all of us. Seeing him open this court was immense. For us, the girls, finally having a tournament here after watching it on TV and the men playing is very nice."
