Emma Raducanu could arrive at Wimbledon wrapped in cotton wool. The British number one has set off alarm bells just four days before the start of the London Grand Slam after not showing up for the scheduled training on Thursday at the All England Club.

This is compounded by an image that has raised even more concern. According to CLAY, the champion of the 2021 US Open was seen leaving the facilities on Wednesday night with an orthopedic boot on her right foot. The British player is managing some physical discomfort, although the fact that she is using foot protection and canceling her training session fuels doubts about her condition for the third Grand Slam of the season.

Raducanu's presence in the official training schedule for Thursday had initially eased the situation. However, when the scheduled time arrived, court 10 of Aorangi Park remained empty, and the player never appeared. The British player has not been publicly training at Wimbledon since last Monday, although it is not ruled out that she has been working elsewhere or doing so privately.

Doubts arise at a particularly delicate moment, following a grass court swing that had rejuvenated British fans. Raducanu reached the final of the WTA 500 at Queen's, where she fell to Donna Vekic, although after that match, she admitted to having been dealing with some physical problems for weeks. "I've been dealing with some discomfort over the past few weeks," she confessed at the time.

She subsequently decided to withdraw from the Nottingham tournament and also declined an invitation to compete in Eastbourne in order to arrive at Wimbledon in the best possible condition.

Raducanu's season had already been marked by a viral illness that limited her schedule, playing only 16 matches before delivering a strong performance at Queen's. Additionally, the recent return of Andrew Richardson —the coach with whom she won the 2021 US Open—had boosted optimism for a Wimbledon where she would be a seeded player.

With just a few days until the draw, the question now revolves around her physical condition and whether she will be able to compete without limitations in the most important tournament in British tennis.
