Coco Gauff proved too much for the world number 49, who lost 6-1 6-2 in the last 16 of the Italian Open on Monday.
The next major at Roland Garros gets underway on May 25, with the Gauff defeat potentially Raducanu's last appearance before battling in the French capital.
"I would love to just keep improving, keep playing. I think that's a positive for me," Raducanu told바카라 웹사이트Sky Sports.
"I don't want to go and hide in a hole somewhere, I want to get back out there, so that's good.
"We'll see how it goes in the next week before the French, if I get into Strasbourg. But, for now, I've played a good 12 days on the trot, so I'm looking forward a day off or so and then getting back to it."
Raducanu has won eight of her 11 matches since bringing in new coach Mark Petchey to work바카라 웹사이트alongside Jane O'Donoghue.
Her loss to Gauff was only the 21st clay-court match of Raducanu's바카라 웹사이트career, compared to 81 on hard courts and 20 on grass.
The one-time major champion has rediscovered a love for the game, as well as the challenges of adapting to an alternate surface.
"It makes it more enjoyable, it makes it more sustainable. It doesn't make the losses feel as bad, because I just know that every day I'm trying to be the best version of myself, I'm trying to win the day and I've kind of gone back to that," she said.
"I didn't win on the match court today but I'm going to find a way to win the day still today.
"It was a tough day in the office. I just have to take a lot of positives. I am getting out more, I am enjoying myself and taking it in wherever I go, because it is tough on the road.
"So, I think just trying to find small pockets of the day, small glimmers, to make it more enjoyable."
