RADU-CAN DO
Emma Raducanu, 23, shares rare four-word health update after missing string of huge tournaments
EMMA RADUCANU confirmed she’s feeling “much better” amid a lengthy layoff from the WTA Tour.
The British No1 has not played since Indian Wells in early March.
Raducanu, 23, subsequently withdrew from Miami before a lingering viral illness caused her to miss events in Linz and Madrid.
Following an extended absence from social media, the former US Open champion posted a photo dump to Instagram.
Alongside a fingers crossed emoji, a fan commented: “I can’t wait to see you back out on court soon. I hope you’re feeling a lot better now.”
Raducanu replied: “much better thank you x”.
The tennis star’s photo dump featured selfies, pictures from practice, a trip to an art gallery and even a snap of herself reading a book while sitting on a luggage rack on the train.
Fans will be hoping to see Raducanu return to action next week in Rome.
The Masters 1000 event begins on May 5 at Foro Italico and was the scene of one of Raducanu’s best runs of last year.
She defeated Maya Joint, Jill Teichmann and Veronika Kudermetova on the Italian clay before finally falling to Coco Gauff in round four.

After Rome, Raducanu could feature at Strasbourg or Rabat during the week before Roland Garros.
Should she not make it back in time for the French Open, Raducanu’s attention will swiftly turn to the grass.
The world No27 has already confirmed that she will play at Queens again this year, while she could also sign up to other British events in Birmingham, Nottingham or Eastbourne.
All eyes will then turn to Wimbledon, which begins on June 29.
