Emma Raducanu Returns to Action in Billie Jean King Cup

Emma Raducanu made a triumphant return to competitive tennis, securing victory for Great Britain in the Billie Jean King Cup against Germany after a two-month injury layoff. She defeated Jule Niemeier 6-4, 6-4, despite facing challenges, including saving five break points and converting six match points. Raducanu's performance follows her discussions with fitness trainer Yutaka Nakamura, as she aims to enhance her physical conditioning and compete more consistently. The 22-year-old expressed her determination to remain injury-free and improve her ranking, having reached the top 60 this year while playing in fewer than 15 events. The British team, looking to advance in the tournament, features Katie Boulter and others, and will face Canada if they defeat Germany. Raducanu's return is seen as a significant boost for her team and hopes are high for a successful outcome at the finals.
