US Open champion Emma Raducanu wants to build up her experience on clay at Stuttgart's WTA tournament this week after making her professional debut on the surface last weekend. The British teenager faces Storm Sanders of Australia in her opening tie on Wednesday in the first round at the indoor tournament in Stuttgart. "I'm looking forward to spending more time on clay this year," Raducanu said.
"I keep telling everyone around me that one day clay is going to be my surface."
Raducanu wore a personalised Tottenham Hotspur shirt with the number 10 in training on Tuesday.
She explained that while football doesn't interest her much, "almost everyone on my team is a big Spurs supporter," added the world number 12.
The British teen had a tough introduction to clay last week in Prague, losing some toenails after training on the surface ahead of Britain's Billie Jean King Cup defeat to the Czech Republic.
