Robson, who retired from pro tennis two years ago at the of 28 after years of struggling with injuries, has since been working as the tournament director of a WTA 250 tournament in Nottingham, as well as the Nottingham Challenger.

At the start of her Nottingham run, Raducanu earned back-to-back wins over Ena Shibahara and Daria Snigur before Francesca Jones gave her a walkover in the quarterfinal. Playing in her first WTA semifinal since 2022 October, Raducanu came close to beating world No. 31 Katie Boulter but ultimately fell just short after Boulter completed a 6-7 (13) 6-3 6-4 win.

She said, ‘Let me just be out there.’ It’s probably a while since I felt that sort of excitement from her,” Robson told The Telegraph when asked to pick the 2024 Wimbledon breakout story.
