HAPPY Emma Raducanu wants to show the world she is in a “good place” when she makes her return to Wimbledon.
And the 2021 US Open winner revealed she is finally able to see her teenage triumph in New York as just “insane”, instead of looking at it in a negative light.
Raducanu, now 21, has been drawn against Russian No.22 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in the first round at SW19.
The world No.168 missed last year’s Championships after undergoing wrist and ankle surgeries.
That was just a part of her struggles during her introduction to life on the WTA Tour, which has been dogged by injuries, loss of form and splits with coaches.
