Emma Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion, has had a tumultuous year on the tennis court. Niggling injuries have plagued her time on the court, and her troublesome wrist injury appears to have flared up once again. This forced her to withdraw from the Madrid Open just hours before she was set to face Viktoriya Tomova, casting doubt over her ability to compete in the upcoming Wimbledon tournament.

With Raducanu’s failure to defend the 120 points she earned from last year’s tournament in Madrid, she will fall out of the world’s top 100 when the rankings reset. The bigger picture for Raducanu looking ahead will be that she’s now at risk of missing the cut for the direct-entry list to Wimbledon in a few weeks. The women’s singles draw at Wimbledon allows for the top 108 ranked players to gain direct entry. While some players could miss out through injury, it puts Raducanu on the edge of potentially needing a wild card or to go through the qualifiers to make the main draw.

Despite her recent setback, Raducanu has proven herself to be a determined and talented player. She burst onto the scene at the US Open, becoming the first qualifier in history to win a Grand Slam title. Her meteoric rise in the tennis world has made her a fan favorite and a rising star to watch. While her recent injury has put her Wimbledon hopes in jeopardy, fans and experts alike are hopeful that Raducanu will overcome this setback and continue to shine on the court.

Former Wimbledon champion Andy Roddick has expressed confidence in Emma Raducanu’s ability to secure a wild card entry to the upcoming Wimbledon tournament. Despite her recent injury setback and potential need for a wild card, Roddick believes that Raducanu has what it takes to compete at the highest level. Roddick acknowledged that it’s been a strange year for Raducanu since her surprise victory at the US Open. The expectations that come along with such a monumental victory can be a lot to handle, especially for a young player.

“I have a sneaky suspicion that she might just get that wild card into Wimbledon,” he said. “It’s been a strange deal since the US Open. Obviously the expectations that comes along with it, coming from nowhere, coming from qualifying is obviously a lot to ask. The thing about these injuries is there’s seems to be a lot of stop and start, there hasn’t been an injury that’s kept her out let’s say two or three months at a time. It’s always been a week here, a week there but never actually taking away a big chunk of time so hopefully that’s still the case and we’re not dealing with something more serious.“

Ultimately, Roddick believes that Raducanu‘s talent and determination will see her through any obstacles she may face. He praised her mental toughness and her ability to rise to the occasion, as evidenced by her historic win at the US Open. With Roddick’s vote of confidence and the support of her fans around the world, Raducanu is sure to continue making waves in the world of tennis for years to come.
