struggles.<\/p>\n<p>Following a disappointing second-round exit from the Australian Open, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/emma-raducanu\">Raducanu<\/a> appeared to have turned the corner at the Transylvania Open as she reached the final, but she suffered a heavy 6-0, 6-2 loss to Sorana Cirstea in the final.<\/p>\n<p>After the match, she revealed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-alludes-health-scare-after-heavy-transylvania-open-final-defeat\">she struggled with \u201chealth\u201d issues<\/a> and that continued to be the story during her next two events as she required treatment during her first-round match at the Qatar Open before retiring early in the third set.<\/p>\n<p>She also needed a medical timeout during her defeat in the opening round of the Dubai Tennis Championships, but has finally returned to action after a two-week break.<\/p>\n<p>Following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-rankings-breakthrough-indian-wells-win\">her comfortable 6-1, 6-3 win<\/a> over Anastasia Zakharova in the second round of the Indian Wells Open, Raducanu opened up about her recent struggles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn hindsight, I think the Middle East was too much of a push. I wasn\u2019t feeling good health-wise and kind of made myself stay out there, but I probably wouldn\u2019t do the same again,\u201d the reigning world No 24 said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPreparing for Indian Wells, I\u2019ve been practicing in a way that I enjoyed. I\u2019m seeing progress, moving in a good way, feeling better, \u200band trying to unlock the game \u200bstyle that I enjoy playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Emma Raducanu News<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/amanda-anisimova-emma-raducanu-high-quality-comment-indian-wells-meeting\">Amanda Anisimova makes Emma Raducanu \u2018high quality\u2019 comment ahead of Indian Wells meeting<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-health-issues-indian-wells\">Emma Raducanu\u2019s ongoing health issues need to be resolved before she can flourish<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Raducanu \u2013 who is once again <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-explains-francisco-roig-split-why-reunited-with-mark-petchey\">working with Mark Petche<\/a>y \u2013 looked much better during the match against Zakharova as she wrapped it up in under 90 minutes, breaking twice in the opening set and three times in the decider although the Russian qualifier managed to get one break back.<\/p>\n<p>Up next is sixth seed Amanda Anisimova and the 24-year-old is happy with her progress, although she concedes she is not \u201caiming for the stars right now\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was a great show of my game today, I think I played really well,\u201d the British No 1 said. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s perfect yet but I think it\u2019s a lot better from where I was feeling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not necessarily aiming for the stars right now, I think I just want to be doing my game better and better.
