Fran Jones plans for future on Oxford University visit with Emma Raducanu

Fran Jones and Emma Raducanu were dreaming of their academic futures on a pre-Wimbledon trip to Oxford.

“I think sometimes tennis is consuming and it’s important that you can have that vision for your career afterwards and sometimes keeping in touch with it. So that when you do come back in here, you’re ready to go again instead of everything else being drowned out. Jones, who hinted that politics could be her subject of choice, has become very close to Raducanu over the past few months, with the pair spending a lot of time together.

“No, it’s great to see her in that space. As players, we carry a lot of weight throughout the year. And it’s important to understand how to balance that and I think she’s coming to terms with how she wants to be and feel and how she needs to manage her life off the court.”Jones knows all too well the highs and lows of the sport having made her Wimbledon debut in 2021, pushing Coco Gauff in a close match, only to miss out the last two years through injury.

“It’s been three years since I played here last time and the biggest motivator for me to keep being persistent was to come back to Wimbledon.“It’s been a tough couple of years and, with the physical challenges I’ve faced, it’s been important that I’ve surrounded myself with the right people.
