Emma Raducanu recently opened about the close bond she shares with her mother, Renee Zhai. She revealed that her mother is her best friend and her “pillar” of support.

Raducanu had missed most of the 2023 season because of multiple injuries and three surgeries — one on her right ankle and on both her wrists that she had to undergo.

These setbacks caused her to miss most of the tournaments last year. Raducanu made her comeback to the court at the 2024 ASB Classic where she lost in the second round to eventual runner-up Elina Svitolina.

Her performances at the Grand Slam events, saw her reach the second round at the Australian Open before falling to Wang Yafan.

She withdrew from the French Open and then reached the fourth round at Wimbledon before being bested by Lulu Sun.

She also competed at the US Open where she lost in the first round to Sofia Kenin.
