The reasons why Emma Raducanu was spotted in Oxfordshire have been revealed.

After starring in several tournaments throughout the summer, the tennis star was spotted enjoying a day out in Henley on Sunday.

Raducanu had played in Wimbledon and a WTA 500 event in Washington in the past few months seeing her place in the rankings improve after a few game wins.

The 21-year-old notably did not choose to play for Team GB at the Olympics in Paris though, prioritising the American tournament.

Having visited Oxford back in June, Raducanu made the trip back to the county to see Henley with snaps on social media showing her at a variety of spots in the town.

Raducanu posted a photograph of her on the town corner where Duke Street intersects with Friday Street outside KVB Design.

This was alongside other pictures of the town including some shots beside boats and the water of the River Thames.

The 21-year-old had made the Henley trip to get some rest and relaxation in as well as some key training ahead of her return to America.

Raducanu will be taking part in the US Open, which kicked off this week with qualifying, and will hope to replicate her winning success of 2021.

She posted a photo of her working out in the gym with the other snaps showing that she still has her eyes on the prize even when taking a relaxing trip away from the courts.

After her first Oxfordshire trip this year, Raducanu was linked to a potential stay in Oxford studying at the university.

She played down the rumours of potentially studying at the historic educational institution but refused to rule out the idea completely.

“I’m very much focused on my professional tennis career,” said Raducanu.

“For now I’m very much focused on the tennis.”
