Britain’s Emma Raducanu says she is in a “really fit place” as she prepares to start her grass-court season at the Nottingham Open.

The 21-year-old skipped the French Open to focus on her fitness, having not played since losing in the first round of the Madrid Open in April.

Raducanu, who had wrist and ankle operations last year, faces Japan’s Ena Shibahara in the Nottingham first round on Tuesday.

“Body-wise, physical-wise, I feel really healthy. I feel really strong,” said Raducanu, who played her first WTA match at Nottingham in 2021 before going on to win the US Open later that year.
