Robson backs Raducanu’s preparation ahead of US Open
Emma Raducanu celebrates winning the second set during her match against Lulu Sun on day seven of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, London, July 7, 2024

FORMER British number one Laura Robson believes Emma Raducanu has had the perfect preparation for the US Open.

Raducanu has played just three matches since reaching the fourth round of Wimbledon in July as she made the quarter-finals of the Washington Open at the start of the month.

She skipped the Olympics in order to prepare for the American hard-court swing, but then chose not to enter qualifying for tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati, instead having a training block.
