Emma Raducanu wins twice in a day at Queen’s to reach biggest final since 2021
Last month, Raducanu reunited with Andrew Richardson, who worked with her during her fairytale run in New York five years ago, when she entered the tournament as a qualifier and left with the trophy.
Since that moment, her career has been plagued with injury and fitness issues including surgery on both wrists and an ankle, and most recently the after-effects of a viral illness that she contracted ahead of the W250 final in Cluj in February.
The clay season might not have gone to plan with first-round exits in Strasbourg and Roland Garros but Raducanu’s attacking game is more suited to grass, and she showed the best of it in west London.
As she wrote “Made it to Sunday, Funday!” on the camera to sign off reaching the final, it was clear how much this moment meant to her.
“Any Brit would love to win the title here,” she said. “Me and my team have stuck together through some tough moments the last few months so I would like to thank them for getting me through.”
