“It’s just a matter of when,” says British celebrity Emma Radicanu, who is confident that Wimbledon is “doing a lot of good things.”
In an interview with Grazia magazine, Emma Raducanu spoke up her chances of winning the Wimbledon crown, adding, “if not this year, next year.” The 2021 US Open champion, who skipped Roland-Garros to be ready for the grass and hard-court seasons, has struggled with form and health in recent years. The world No. 205, however, asserts that she “totally backs herself” and believes that SW19 is “only a matter of when.”

As Emma Raducanu gets ready for a new offensive at SW19, the former US Open champion says, “It’s just a matter of when” she will leave her mark at Wimbledon.
The British woman, who is only eighteen years old, made history in 2021 when she became the first qualifier to win a major championship at Flushing Meadows with an incredible shock victory.
Though she hasn’t advanced past the fourth round at her home Slam, Raducanu has suffered with form and injuries in the years afterward. As a result, she hasn’t experienced a deep run at her home Slam.

“I feel wonderful. I’m training extremely hard, playing well, and doing a lot of positive things, so I know it will happen. The next Wimbledon, if not this one,” she remarked.
“I really believe in and support myself. Really, it’s only a question of when.

“Since I’ve been acting appropriately, I’m just excited to perform for my own audience.”
Raducanu also acknowledged that she needed some time to process the implications of her incredible feat at such a young age.
Being the first British woman to win a major championship since Virginia Wade in 1977, she rose to prominence in the sport of tennis in her native country.
It is strange to consider that a child would have my poster up on their wall. I play like I’m representing all those young players; they motivate me to perform at my highest level.
Raducanu decided to concentrate on improving her fitness for the grass and hard-court seasons, as Wimbledon is set to take place from July 1–14, therefore she withdrew from the French Open one day before qualifying got underway.

In order to give myself an opportunity to stay healthy for the remainder of the year, I will take advantage of the time to complete a healthy block before the grass and ensuing hard-court seasons, according to Raducanu.
Raducanu hasn’t played since losing to Maria Lourdes Carle in the first round of the Madrid Open in April.
Prior to that, victories over Linda Noskova and Angelique Kerber during a run to the Stuttgart quarterfinals were encouraging.
