British tennis player Emma Raducanu has called for a uniform tennis ball in the WTA, specifically for each swing, citing the heavy balls during the grass-court season as a factor in missing the French Open. Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion recovering from surgeries, expressed concerns over the regular switch of balls on tour leading to increased injury risks. She emphasized the importance of transitioning to grass due to wrist issues and mentioned the challenges players face with changing ball types weekly, hoping for reforms in the system.
