"I feel really good right now in terms of where I am headed. I think I have put a lot of good work in the last three weeks, but it's relatively early on in my return."
"I had six weeks almost of doing nothing just trying to recover from the virus, and it takes a lot out of you physically. I'm feeling in a better place - not 100% - and I feel like I have got a great purpose and a way about how I am approaching things right now."
"Coming on to the clay courts is much more physically demanding than potentially other surfaces but I want to come back 100% ready. I have been building my way up slowly and looking forward to when I get out there."
Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from the Italian Open due to a post-viral illness that has sidelined her for two months. Despite practicing in Rome, she stated her desire to return only when fully ready. Raducanu expressed feeling good about her progress but acknowledged the physical toll of her illness. She has missed several tournaments since her last match on March 8 and has been gradually building her fitness. Raducanu emphasized the importance of being 100% ready before competing again, especially on physically demanding clay courts.
