US Open champion knows she must ‘not expect too much’ from herself as she prepares for Transylvania Open
As Emma Raducanu completes her preparations before returning to competition in her first professional tournament on Romanian soil in Cluj-Napoca, she has stressed the need for patience with her career as she continues to grow into top-level tennis, despite her early success.
“I skipped a bunch of buildup levels and buildup stages where you normally work your way in, play your way into the game,” she said. “I basically went from the $25ks to playing Masters, (WTA) 500s and 250s. I just need to be patient with myself, not expect too much, and I am learning to accept it is not so smooth. Just bounce back positively.”
