Emma Raducanu Feels Renewed Confidence Ahead of Wimbledon Return
Emma Raducanu says she is entering Wimbledon 2026 with a refreshed mindset and improved form after a strong grass-court season that has boosted her confidence ahead of the Grand Slam at the All England Club.
The British No. 1, who won the US Open in 2021, recently reached the final at Queen’s Club in London, marking one of her best performances in recent years. While she ultimately finished runner-up, her consistent level of play throughout the tournament drew attention and praise.
Raducanu described her recent performances as a reflection of a more relaxed and expressive approach on court, highlighting her enjoyment of the game as a key factor in her improvement.
Improved Form on Grass
During the Queen’s Club event, Raducanu delivered several strong performances against high-ranked opponents, showing improved movement, shot-making, and overall consistency on grass courts.
She credited her renewed confidence to a better understanding of her game and a more settled approach to competition, which she believes has helped her produce higher-level tennis.
Positive Momentum Heading Into Wimbledon
Raducanu’s run to the Queen’s final is her most significant result at a major warm-up event in several seasons and comes at an important time ahead of Wimbledon.
With strong home support expected, she is preparing for one of the most high-profile tournaments of the year, where she has previously reached the latter stages and played memorable matches on Centre Court.
Focus on Enjoyment and Stability
Raducanu has also emphasized the importance of enjoying her tennis and maintaining a positive mindset, saying that her best performances come when she feels relaxed and confident.
Recent changes in her coaching setup, including reconnecting with former coach Andrew Richardson, have also contributed to her sense of stability and clarity on the court.
Looking Ahead
As Wimbledon approaches, Raducanu will be one of the key British players in the draw, with expectations high from home fans. She will aim to carry her recent form into the tournament as she looks to make a strong impact at the All England Club once again.
