LAURA ROBSON believes Emma Raducanu has had the perfect preparation for the US Open.
Raducanu has played just three matches since reaching the fourth round of Wimbledon in July as she made the quarter-finals of the Washington Open at the start of the month.
She skipped the Olympics in order to prepare for the American hard-court swing, but then chose not to enter for qualifying tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati, instead having a training block.
Who is Raducanu still carefully managing her schedule after wrist and ankle surgery last year is heading back to Flushing Meadows hoping for a first victory there since shocking the world by winning the title in 2021 (below).
Questions have been asked about her lack of matches, but Robson says that approach suits the 21-year-old.
