British tennis star Emma Raducanu is on the cusp of a long-awaited milestone after a standout performance at the Queen’s Club Championships 2025. The 22-year-old, who has battled injuries and inconsistency since her meteoric rise in 2021, is now poised to reach a career milestone she hasn’t touched in over two years — advancing deep into a high-tier tournament on home soil.
Raducanu’s run at Queen’s has reignited hopes among fans and pundits alike, marking a potential turning point in a career that has seen flashes of brilliance clouded by setbacks. Her latest victories at the tournament, including a hard-fought win against a top-20 opponent in the second round, have placed her on the brink of reaching a semi-final or better for the first time since 2022.
What’s more notable is Raducanu’s renewed confidence and physical fitness. Following a string of surgeries and time away from the court, she appears stronger and more composed, both mentally and physically. Her serve has improved significantly, and her return game — once considered her strongest asset — is back to its razor-sharp form.
In post-match interviews, Raducanu credited her resurgence to a more measured training approach, a new coaching team, and a stronger mindset. “I’ve been patient, and I’ve worked really hard just to get healthy again,” she said. “Now, it’s about enjoying the game and building momentum one match at a time.”
With the grass-court season now in full swing and Wimbledon just weeks away, Raducanu’s timing couldn’t be better. A strong finish at Queen’s would not only mark the end of her two-year drought in tournament success but also position her as a serious contender heading into her home Grand Slam.
Tennis fans across the UK are watching closely, hopeful that this is the beginning of Raducanu’s long-awaited comeback — one that could see her reclaim the form that once stunned the world.
