“People read so deeply into everything,” she said. “It was just a good soundtrack. I really like the start of that song, it’s really classical — then the drop.”

There’s also nothing too deep to read into Raducanu’s decision to withdraw from Roland Garros, according to the former US Open champion. At the time, she said that her rationale was to focus on the grass- and hard-court swings instead — even at the expense of a Grand Slam that she now says she was unable to watch in 2023, because it was “too raw” coming so soon after multiple wrist and ankle surgeries.

Though she emphasizes that she feels good physically, and her wrists are “in better condition than they ever were,” there’s still a preventative element to Raducanu’s choices.

“There’s zero apprehension when I’m hitting the ball or designing my schedule,” she said. “It’s more just being proactive and not wanting to put yourself in any unnecessary situations. We have to change balls every single week, and they don’t regulate the ball with the conditions. It’s a factor where I have to miss certain events because either the conditions or the balls don’t favor my situation.

“It was important for me to take time to transition on to the grass, because the balls over the grass-court season are so heavy. I feel like conditions are getting slower and slower on grass courts and especially for myself having had wrist surgeries, I needed to prioritize the transition.”
