Raducanu: "This season, I will try to free myself from the pressure"
By winning the US Open in 2021, Emma Raducanu drew the spotlight to herself very early. This victory also created high expectations for her, which she has not been able to meet.
Quoted by Sky Sports, she shared her expectations for the 2025 season: "It's exciting, and it really feels like a fresh start—in my approach to things, with my team, in my mindset, and my perspective.
I’m more optimistic, quite positive about the future. I’m taking it day by day and trying to stay steady. This season, I will try to free myself from the pressure, to play more aggressively and the way I want, so that it also helps me on other surfaces."
Raducanu is competing in Rome, where she will face a qualifier in the first round.
