Emma Raducanu is enjoying the off-season and seems to have brought back her signature selfie style via her latest social media post. Raducanu recently concluded her season on a high note with an unbeaten campaign at the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup Finals.
Emma Raducanu endured another injury-hampered season and failed to play a full schedule. However, she ended the year by winning all her matches at the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup Finals. The 22-year-old defeated Germany's Jule Niemeier, Canada's Rebecca Marino and Slovakia's Viktoria Hruncakova in straight sets.
Great Britain bowed out of the tournament in the semifinals after losing to Slovakia. However, the former US Open champion looked like her former self in Malaga despite playing her first tournament since the Korea Open in September.
Now, in the off-season, the Brit has begun preparing for the 2025 tour and shared a selfie from her gym session on Saturday (Nov. 23), doing the "duck face."
Emma Radacanu has often taken to social media to update fans about her tennis journey and gym sessions. She also shares videos from her practice sessions before tournaments, including one ahead of the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup, and amid injury recovery.
Emma Raducanu celebrated her 22nd birthday in storm-hit Malaga
Emma Raducanu turned 22 on November 13 and celebrated her birthday in Malaga, where she was representing her nation at the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup Finals. The city hosted the tournament amid dire circumstances after severe thunderstorms and torrential rains pelted the eastern coast of Spain, where Malaga is located.
The disaster left the streets of Malaga flooded, with water even entering players' hotel rooms. In such circumstances, Raducanu was forced to celebrate her birthday indoors and spent the day surrounded by her Team Great Britain teammates. She shared images and videos from the celebrations and looked back fondly on the year, including her run at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships.
"22☺️thank you for all the birthday wishes, I’m so grateful for all my friends too (who I couldn’t all add here) for pouring extra love into today and being there through all♥️ big s/o to my team for making it a special day out here 🫶," Raducanu captioned the Instagram post.
Emma Raducanu played just 13 tournaments on the 2024 WTA Tour. The World No. 58's notable performances this year came at the WTA 250 Rothesay Open Nottingham, where she reached the semifinals, and at the Wimbledon Championships, where she bowed out in the fourth round.
