Emma Raducanu is showing encouraging progress with coach Mark Petchey, earning praise from tennis legend Chris Evert. Evert believes Raducanu’s mental and emotional development has greatly improved, indicating she understands her game and knows what she needs to refine.
Following a difficult stretch marred by injuries and inconsistent form, Raducanu’s recent performances signal a strong comeback. Notably, she reached the Miami Open quarterfinals and the fourth round of the Madrid Open, edging closer to the WTA top 30.
Her US Open triumph in 2021 brought sudden fame, which disrupted her career momentum. However, Evert observes that Raducanu is now more focused, displaying greater maturity and dedication to rebuilding her tennis career.
Evert encourages Raducanu to add more power, approach the net more often, and continue her hard work. With her priorities aligned and full commitment evident, Raducanu is poised to evolve into an even stronger force on the tour.
