INDIAN WELLS, California : Britain's Emma Raducanu has learned that good fortune can be fleeting and bad luck can cruelly compound itself but said she is on the upswing following her second-round victory at Indian Wells on Saturday.

The 20-year-old has been beset by an avalanche of injuries and illnesses of late but was all smiles after knocking out Polish 20th seed Magda Linette 7-6(3) 6-2 for her biggest win since her triumph at the 2021 U.S.

Open.She suffered an ankle injury in the lead up to January's Australian Open, tonsillitis that forced her to withdraw ahead of last week's Austin Open and the recent flaring up of a wrist injury that cut short her 2022 season."Sometimes you wonder, like, how is this possible?" Raducanu told reporters."But then very quickly I think you create your own luck.

It works both ways. I won the U.S. Open as well. I have to take the bad luck sometimes because good fortune has also come upon me."I wouldn't trade that title for the world.
