The 22-year-old admitted that she found the problem ‘frustrating’, but has more faith in dealing

“It can be frustrating. I think when I played in my game in Strasbourg, it certainly hinded me, and the first round in Paris I came through.

“And I think it’s just to manage it, knowing that it keeps coming back (is a challenge).

‘But I don’t try to get it to me, because I think I have a reasonably good feeling of what I have to do and how to manage it (when it happens). It takes a few days, but all I can do is deal with what For me. ‘

Paradoxically, Raducanu will compete in both singles and Doubles in West Kensington, who works with Katie Boulter for the first time in her career.

The decision to do this under her physical circumstances and a lack of Double experience Raducanu played for the last time the format on the Tour in 2022-Mei Ewbrauwen, but the 22-year-old shared her ‘excitement’ when starting her campaign with her Billie King Cup team against Jiang Xinyu and Wu Fang-hsien.

Cavaday was forced Take a step back from working with the player after the Australian Open for health reasonsBut Raducanu was pleased to share that she could start his support on the home floor.

“I am happy to see him in the first place,” said Raducanu. ‘It has been a long time since we were together on the field together in Australia, and I think Mark (Petchey, her current coach) has commented in Paris. Nick was in the neighborhood and it was nice to just have a few days with him. ‘

Raducanu also refused to be attracted to a discussion about equal reward in the game for men and women, days after the Tennis Association (LTA) announced that they will commit to the money at Queen’s and in Eastbourne in 2029, and this year grant a record -high prize pool for both events.

‘I think the prize money in many of the WTA events is absolutely different from the ladies. With the Slams and the Masters it is the same, but you know, the events from week to week, it is lower, “said Raducanu. ‘It is clearly a big difference, and I am sure that many players will do that, say their piece about it, but I prefer not to do a bit with it and just what the situation is. I will roll a bit with it, but I will never really take a position, anyway.

“I don’t feel that I really play for money,” said Raducanu. ‘Of course I have to maintain my team, which is extremely expensive.

“And with my kind of profile, coaches and team members know that, and so it’s a very expensive sport, but it’s not my most important motivation when I play.”
