Emma Raducanu stands by decision to return on clay rather than wait for grass

Emma Raducanu, Britain's number one tennis player, has defended her decision to return to competitive action on clay courts rather than waiting for the grass-court season. The timing of her comeback means she will head into the grass-court season, which includes Wimbledon, still working to rediscover her best form. Raducanu has stood firm on the strategic choice despite questions about whether grass, a surface she has previously excelled on, would have been a more suitable return.
