She is due to face Bianca Andreescu in the first round of this week’s Italian Open in Rome. Raducanu made history at Flushing Meadows last year when, as a qualifier, she won the US Open women’s singles title without dropping a set and so became the first British female player to win a solo Grand Slam since Virginia Wade at Wimbledon back in 1977. She remains without a full-time coach following her split from Torben Beltz and is being supported in Rome by the Lawn Tennis Association’s head of women’s tennis, Iain Bates. “I’d describe myself as a loner,” Raducanu told reporters. “I do like being on my own, but of course I love being in groups as well…For the past year I’d say I’ve had a lot of people around me a lot and very often. To be kind of on my own is interesting because I’m kind of finding out a lot about myself, understanding what I need and what I don’t need.” Her presence in the Birmingham draw will be a welcome boost for organisers of the longstanding Wimbledon warm-up event, which runs from June 13-19, given they now face competition for players from a higher-tier tournament in Berlin.
