MELBOURNE : Emma Raducanu has struggled to live up to sky-high expectations since winning her maiden Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows last year but the Briton says she is not worried about her poor form and will play without pressure at the Australian Open.
But she struggled to get close to that form in subsequent tournaments with a series of early exits prompting criticism, while testing positive for COVID-19 at Christmas also impacted her preparations for the new season. "I feel like there's actually no pressure on me. I'm just happy to be here and have a swing. I had to jump a few hurdles to play here, so just want to go out there and have fun and enjoy on the court."
"It was definitely a lack of practice," she said."I think I played maybe six, seven, really not many hours at all."It will be good to keep building and see. I'm currently feeling physically good."
