Emma Raducanu maybe won’t be participating at the Paris Olympics but she will be back in action in late July after signing up to compete at a WTA 500 tournament in Washington.
In mid-June, the British Olympic team announced that Raducanu didn’t make herself available for the upcoming Olympics and that move landed criticism and scrutiny upon the 21-year-old as some argued that the 2021 US Open champion simply must have accepted to represent her nation.
But Raducanu had an explanation for her decision, saying that going from grass to clay after Wimbledon would be too risky considering her injury history.
However, Raducanu won’t rest too much after Wimbledon as she is now scheduled to return to action in Washington, which starts on July 29th.
When Raducanu kicks off her campaign on the hard courts of Washington, she will be making her second appearance at the tournament. And after doing solid in her Washington debut in 2022 and making the quarterfinal, the former world No. 10 will certainly be hoping to again do well in the US capital and start her North American hard court swing on a positive note.
An Emma-zing addition this year 🤩
