Laura Robson is eagerly anticipating the upcoming Wimbledon tournament and is looking forward to seeing how former US Open champion Emma Raducanu performs. Raducanu missed Wimbledon last year but is excited to be returning to her home major. Robson is pleased to see Raducanu healthy and enthusiastic about playing. She believes that Raducanu’s recent success has been influenced by her physical well-being and confidence. Raducanu has performed well in lead-up events in Nottingham and Eastbourne, which bodes well for her upcoming matches. Robson is particularly interested in Raducanu’s first-round match against Ekaterina Alexandrova, noting that both players will be giving it their all and that Raducanu will have the support of the crowd.
Robson also discusses the chances of Coco Gauff at Wimbledon, describing her as a contender in every tournament she plays. Gauff’s positive attitude and the support of her team make her a formidable opponent on the court. Despite her young age, Gauff has had significant experience in the tennis world and continues to improve her game with each match.
When discussing the men’s draw, Robson believes that it is more open this year, with several players having a strong chance of success. She mentions players like Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, and Alexander Zverev as potential contenders for the title. As the defending champion, Alcaraz must be feeling confident about his chances, and Robson appreciates the tradition of the previous year’s champion opening the tournament on Centre Court.
Regarding Sinner’s performance on grass, Robson notes that while it may not be his favorite surface, his mental belief and confidence in his game have grown stronger this year. Sinner’s humble attitude and dedication to his craft make him a formidable player on any surface. Robson highlights his clean ball striking and No. 1 seed status as indicators of his potential success at Wimbledon.
