EMMA RADUCANU has fallen back in love with tennis just in time for Wimbledon.
The British No.5 spent more than a month on the sidelines when she was left feeling "mentally and emotionally exhausted" during the clay season.
But she returned in Nottingham earlier this month as a new player after "rekindling a light and a fire" inside herself.
Speaking in Eastbourne, her last tournament before Wimbledon, a smiley Raducanu said: "I just love the sport, love tennis.
"It's just taken over me and I've really rekindled a light and a fire inside of me and just very happy and enjoying it a lot.
"I would say right before Nottingham it happened and I'm just really grateful to have this feeling again because it's something that I feel like I have been missing in a way for the last few years."
