Tennis News: Emma Raducanu, who has already won a Grand Slam, is “capable of achieving big things,” according to Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup captain Anne Keothavong.
When the British No. 1 won the US Open last year after advancing from qualifying and going ten matches without dropping a set, she stunned the tennis world.
Since then, the 19-year-old who lost this year at Flushing Meadows in the first round as well as in the second round of the other three Grand Slams has had greater difficulty.
Injuries have plagued Raducanu, and her coaching staff has undergone a series of changes. Dmitry Tursunov was the most recent coach to break ways with the young athlete.
In the most recent WTA rankings, she has plummeted to 75th place after just making one semi-final appearance in 2022.
Making sure Emma is fit and healthy is the most crucial thing, according to Keothavong. She has spent a year on tour and has a better awareness of what is expected of her and how to manage her time and body. She will know more about this heading into the following year.
“No one will be able to take that away from her; she is a Grand Slam champion, and she is capable of big things.”
She’s doing well if she’s talking to Kane
According to recent reports, Raducanu asked England captain Harry Kane for advice on how to handle life in the sports spotlight, and the Tottenham striker provided the benefit of his knowledge.
“In the sport, you play, you’re dealing with comparable kinds of challenges and expectations as athletes at the very top,” continued Keothavong. “You all have a great desire to succeed and to excel in your chosen fields, so if she is speaking with Harry Kane, then good for her.
The Great Britain Billie Jean King Cup squad deserves Harry Kane’s best, too.
Due to a wrist injury that ended Raducanu’s season early last month, she will not be able to represent Great Britain at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Glasgow this week.
