Raducanu has 'rekindled love for tennis'

Emma Raducanu says she has "rekindled" her love for tennis and is excited about what she might now achieve.

The 21-year-old Briton spoke in April of being "mentally and emotionally exhausted" after losing heavily to Argentine qualifier Maria Lourdes Carle in the Madrid Open first round.

She then missed the French Open to ensure she was fully fit for the grass-court season, having endured an injury-plagued 2023 campaign.

Raducanu returned to competition at the Nottingham Open earlier this month and enjoyed a rewarding run to the semi-finals.

Despite losing to eventual champion and British number one Katie Boulter, Raducanu says she feels "brighter and bubblier" now.
