British teenager Emma Raducanu said on Wednesday she is not rethinking her career plans after world number one Ash Barty's surprise retirement and that she fully hopes to play into her 30s.

"I want to be in the game till I'm in my 30s. We'll see what happens and how long I can last, to be honest." Raducanu, who took a lengthy break from tennis due to the COVID-19 pandemic and because her parents insisted she should complete her high school exams, said Barty's successful return showed the benefits time away from the court can have."I feel like that just shows, if you take time off, you come back, you're hungry, you're ready. She basically cleaned up when she came back ... It just shows you don't need to be only tennis, tennis, tennis.

"Right now all I care about is getting through the season in one piece," said Raducanu, who has struggled on court since her U.S. Open victory.
