The Brit uploaded a carousel of pictures on Instagram, including the one where she posed next to the Roman Colosseum, her fierce on-court moments at the Foro Italico, and a snapshot of the delicious cuisines she savoured.

"Divenire," her caption said.

WTA star Emma Raducanu recently admitted to lacking confidence about her grip on clay courts. Despite securing three commendable wins, the 22-year-old confessed that she might be improving but there's still a long way before she gains complete control over her dominance on clay. The admission came after her victory over Jil Teichmann.

"I still don't feel really comfortable [on clay]. I guess in a way it helps I have to be super focused on every single point, get my feet right and try not to fall over. I think I'm slowly finding my feet," she told SkySports after her round of 64 win.

Currently ranked number 49th in the world, Emma Raducanu is now chasing her 11th win of the season among the 8 losses she faced. She is set to compete against the world No.50 Veronika Kudermetova with a spot in the top 16 at stake.
