The Brit, who’ll be back in the Top 100 next week, promised to ‘just keep swimming.’

Most people might’ve consider Emma Raducanu’s Centre Court defeat to qualifier Lulu Sun on Sunday at Wimbledon to be a surprise, considering the 2021 US Open champion’s resurgent form in the grass-court summer and Sun’s relative inexperience on the biggest stages of top level tennis.

But the Brit was serving up a healthy dose of perspective on Monday in her first social media posts after an eventful end to her 2024 stay at the All England Club, which saw her reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time since her win in New York three summers ago.

At this time last year, Raducanu was recovering from surgeries on both wrists and an ankle, and had just started hitting tennis balls again around the time of the grass-court Grand Slam. Reposting a stitched photo of herself from then, in a hospital bed, and now, smiling on court, on Monday, she was grateful—despite any disappointment from a 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 defeat that also gave her another injury scare when she slipped and fell on the grass-court surface early in the third set.

“Only take a glance back to see how far you’ve come,” she wrote. “[Seven] months back from starting to hit balls again, build from here.”
