Emma Raducanu issues fitness update ahead of Wimbledon.

The 22-year-old has been plagued with injuries throughout her career.

Emma Raducanu has assured tennis fans that she will play at Wimbledon despite another injury scare.

The British no1 was dumped out of the Eastbourne Open by Maya Joint in the second round, with the seventh seed surrendering a set-advantage to lose 4-6 6-1 7-6(4) at Devonshire Park.

Raducanu had been struggling with a back issue throughout her Queen’s Club campaign, where she reached the quarter-finals before being beaten by Olympic champion Qinwen Zheng, and the last eight of the doubles alongside Katie Boulter, before they were defeated by top seeds Erin Routliffe and Lyudmyla Kichenok.

The 2021 US Open champion was hampered by back spasms at both the Australian and French Opens, and was forced to pull out of the Berlin Open after the same niggle began to bother her once more in west London.

Unfortunately, she had to play through the pain barrier on the Sussex coast, and she looked in considerable discomfort during her defeat by the Australian teeanger Joint.

However, Raducanu has allayed fears that she will miss this year’s Wimbledon, insisting that she would be at her home grand slam.
