Furthermore, Djokovic clarified that will only play if he believes he can contend for the title.

“If not, then I’ll give somebody else a chance to play,” he added.

“I’m very happy to have rekindled the love for tennis and just enjoying the challenges that come with it and not getting so down about it,” she added.
Raducanu spoke in April about feeling “mentally and emotionally exhausted” after winning the US Open in 2021.
However, things have changed after Nottingham, she recalled.
“I would say right before Nottingham it happened. I really feel like I’m in a lot better spirits on and off the court,” Raducanu said.
