Emma Raducanu spoke to the British newspaper PA about the upcoming season. She also talks about her state of fitness.

She says: "I'm in a good place tennis-wise at the moment.

I want to see how far I can go and exploit my potential. I really want to play more. I think a big part of that is staying healthy.

In the beginning, when I started my career, my main goal was to win a Grand Slam. It happened when I was very young and I'm grateful for that.

But then I thought, "Okay, now what? It's not tenable. If you don't win another Grand Slam soon, you get frustrated.

Now, the reason I play is more sincere. I really love what I do, how I work, and the people I work with."

Adrien Guyot 29/11/2025 à 09h08

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions. This extends all the way to the highest level, where professional players have spoken out, trying as best they can to help their nation.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
