“For me it was a no-brainer,” she said. “In my team, they were asking me: ‘Emma, are you sure you want to play? Just in case, You’re still in the tournament’. I was like: ‘No-brainer’.

“Yeah I think that gave me so much energy, and just knowing that I’d be able to have that opportunity and experience, it made me so happy and I slept very peacefully and woke up very happy as well.

“I think certain things take energy from you, certain things give you energy. I think playing with Andy will just massively inspire me and just give me a lot of life and energy and adrenaline, and I love that. I’m physically in a really good spot and also if I’m in the second week of Wimbledon I’ll be jumping for joy so for me it’s a win-win.”

From a horrible defeat in Madrid in April, Raducanu has re-emerged in a “good place”. She has split with her billionaire boyfriend Carlo Agostinelli, skipped French Open qualifying and no longer sees her life-changing US Open triumph in a” negative light”.

Her on-court positivity comes from off-court stability. She is working with her childhood coach Nick Cavaday while her mentor Jane O’Donaghue is also in her entourage here.

The former WTA player and LTA coach now works in banking and has taken leave to attend her grasscourt events.
