Emma’s recent performances have been nothing short of impressive. She won all three of her singles matches in straight sets during the Billie Jean King Cup, defeating players like Jule Niemeier and Rebecca Marino. Her victories were crucial in helping Great Britain reach the semi-finals.
“I think I had some good performances on the court this week,” Emma reflected. “I played three matches, which is great for me. I haven’t played in a while so I think being able to score a point and get on the board was helpful. I think the positives to take are, physically, I held up pretty well.
