Emma Raducanu set to focus on Wimbledon after opting out of the French Open.
Tennis is a sport that requires day-to-day repetition. From practice to matches to recover and then repeat the same, a player often has to make a lot of sacrifices to their social life to keep up with the sport.
Speaking about the same sacrifice was Emma Raducanu, who had to practice while her friends went out partying every other night. She spoke with the same discipline as a world-class player, when she mentioned the sacrifices she had to make to get better as a player.
Don’t get too jealous, but of course when my friends are on holiday for like two months in the summer, you’re like okay I’m just out here grinding on the court and traveling and everything.said Emma Raducanu via Grazia
However, she quickly added on by saying that she was grateful for her opportunities which none of the others got to experience.
But equally I get opportunities that they may never have. The people I get to be in a room with. The experience I get to have first-hand. All of these are such amazing privileges, and you’re not going to get them for free.continued Emma Raducanu in the interview
Raducanu has significantly improved all year and is playing better than she did a couple of months ago. However, she was a little unlucky with the wildcards at the French Open and soon opted out of the tournament to train for Wimbledon.
