Emma Raducanu has shared a new selfie showing off a bright smile while on a video call with her mother. The British tennis star is training in Melbourne following her withdrawal from the ASB Classic in Auckland.
Taking to Instagram, Raducanu shared the screenshot and smiling brightly in the image, she captioned it:
“Mom’s pov”
The 22-year-old’s selfie comes days after she announced the disappointing news of her withdrawal from her first event of the new season (via ESPN):
“I’ve tried my best to be ready. I love Auckland and the fans here. But unfortunately I’ve picked up a back niggle and I won’t be ready in time.”
Raducanu has battled numerous injury setbacks undergoing several surgeries in recent years. While 2024 showed glimpses of promise, with a fourth-round appearance at Wimbledon and over 30 matches played, inconsistency remained a challenge.
Unfortunately, 2025 began on a familiar note for the Brit, as she was forced to withdraw from the ASB Classic due to fitness concerns.
