Emma Raducanu bounced back from a setback, claiming her first win of the season with a thrilling victory over Camila Osorio at the Hobart International. A rain-affected match in Tuesday's second-round encounter saw play suspended mid-set, but Raducanu came out on top in Wednesday's 6-3, 7-6(7-2) success.
Raducanu's win marked a significant turnaround from being trailing Osorio 4-1 in the second set. Her mental toughness and resilience were evident as she overcame a challenging match, describing it as "very difficult." The British 23-year-old also commended her opponent for an outstanding performance, stating, "I thought Camila played an incredible match."
Raducanu's triumph is all the more impressive considering the disruptions to her off-season due to injury and a disrupted practice schedule. She demonstrated her resilience by overcoming difficult conditions, including coming on and off multiple times during the match.
The win sets Raducanu up for a quarter-final against Australian wildcard Taylah Preston, as she prepares for the upcoming Australian Open. The tournament begins in Melbourne on Sunday, with the world number 29 looking to build momentum ahead of the Grand Slam event.

Just watched Emma Raducanu's match and I'm so impressed by her mental game 
! She was down 4-1 in the second set but still managed to come back and win. That takes a lot of guts and determination 
. And she gave props to her opponent Camila, saying she played an incredible match. It shows she's not just thinking about herself, she's also respecting her opponents 
. Can't wait to see how she does in the Australian Open! 
! I mean, trailing 4-1 in the second set and then coming out on top? That's like, totally mental toughness right there 
! And I love how she gave her opponent props for an amazing match - it shows she's a gracious winner 
. Plus, considering all the obstacles she faced during her off-season (injury and disrupted practice schedule), this win is like, totally a testament to her resilience 
. Can't wait to see what she does in the quarter-final against Taylah Preston! She's got this 
so i'm impressed by emma raducanu's mental game she really showed some serious grit out there, coming back from being down 4-1 in the second set that's no easy feat 
now let's see if she can carry that form through to melbourne 
. But honestly, mental toughness can take you so far in sports, especially when it comes to comebacks like this one 
. Her acknowledgement of Osorio's great match is also pretty cool - shows she respects her opponent despite losing 
.
I'm loving Emma's come-from-behind win! It just goes to show that mental toughness can take you so far in sports - she was down 4-1 and still managed to claw back and take it all the way. And Camila's a tough opponent too, giving her a run for her money 
! I'm super excited for her next match against Preston, and I'm rooting for her to bring home that quarter-final spot 
!
. Now, with this win under her belt, she'll be looking to build momentum ahead of the Australian Open 
. And let's be real, 4-1 down in the second set is a huge deficit to overcome - only someone with serious resilience would be able to do it 
. Anyway, back to tennis... I'm loving Raducanu's determination, but have you guys tried those new energy gels that all the pro athletes are using? I've been meaning to try them out for a tournament of my own (just kidding, I'm still super bad at tennis 
). But seriously, it's great to see her bouncing back from that tough set loss. And can we talk about how beautiful the Hobart International is? I've always wanted to visit Tasmania, the scenery looks stunning 
.
just when u thought tennis was all sunshine and rainbows... emma raducanu's injury problems were actually pretty bad 
she had a disrupted off-season because of them and now has to deal with the pressure of the aussie open 
anyway, raducanu's win is all the more impressive considering everything she's been through this season. here's hoping she can keep that momentum going at the aussie open 
. But seriously, that win is a huge morale booster, especially with the Australian Open coming up. It's like she's saying, "Hey, I've got this!" And you know what? That's exactly what we need more of in politics - people who can bounce back from adversity and lead by example 
, but she managed to pull it off and even praised her opponent for an incredible performance
