British No. 1 Emma Raducanu is "not trying to expect too much" in her bid to be fit in time for the 2023 Australian Open.
The 20-year-old suffered an ill-timed roll of the ankle at the recent ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand, which she blamed on the "very slippery" indoor court surface. With barely a week to go before the first major of the year gets underway on January 16, her chances of featuring in Melbourne looked bleak.
However, Raducanu is keeping an open mind on the matter as she awaits a proper prognosis regarding her ankle. Although that includes the possibility that she'll yet again be ruled out of contention due to a blow beyond her control.
