Emma Raducanu has officially confirmed that she will make her comeback from an injury next week in Hong Kong.
In September, it was announced that the British tennis star would play at the WTA 250 tournament in Hong Kong. But after the 2021 US Open champion suffered an unfortunate ligament injury in Seoul in late September and withdrew from her last four scheduled tournaments, there were concerns that she would not play any tournaments in the remainder of the Asian swing.
But Raducanu herself laid those concerns to rest with a video message she recorded.
“Hello everyone, it’s Emma Raducanu here. I really cannot wait to come and play the Prudential Women’s Hong Kong Open. It’s my first time playing the WTA event there, but I was there in December last year and I really loved the city. So I’m very much looking forward to coming and I hope to see you all there in October,” the former world No. 10 said in a recorded message.
