Paula Badosa has advised the British public and media not to be 'hard' on Emma Raducanu as the teenager battles an injury ahead of her return to Wimbledon. The world number three has previously been open to her psychological struggles, urging the US Open champion to give her time after her unprecedented surge last year.
