Emma Raducanu reveals she’s dealing with personal challenges ahead of Wimbledon.

Emma Raducanu admitted she was not fully focused during her Eastbourne Open defeat to Maya Joint, citing “some pretty bad news” she received earlier in the week. The Brit fell short despite a spirited third-set comeback.

Raducanu, 22, acknowledged the emotional toll the off-court situation had taken, saying she felt “quite tired” and needed rest ahead of Wimbledon. With the tournament just days away, she plans to reset mentally and physically.

Trailing 5-2 in the final set, Raducanu nearly turned the match around before Joint secured a 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (4) win. Raducanu now shifts her focus to preparing for her home Grand Slam.
