Emma Raducanu is having a sensational campaign at the US Open, winning her seventh consecutive match. The young player had to start her run in New York from the qualifications. Nevertheless, she reached the second week without dropping a single set on the way.
Emma’s tennis keeps on improving thanks also to the help of her coach Andrew Richardson. Raducanu has recently parted ways from her long-term coach Nigel Sears (Andy Murray’s father-in-law) to partner again with Andrew, who used to coach her for a couple of years.
Raducanu about her coach
During the press conference that followed her third round, Emma Raducanu was asked to comment about her coach. She said:
“Andrew is a very good coach. He is extremely experienced, having played himself. He knows the ins of the game and what it takes to perform as a player from a player’s perspective. He’s very good at instilling the fundamentals into my game and just making me realize like doing the basics to a really good level is going to take you a long way.
And he’s also a very, like, calming character. So sometimes, if I’m getting intense or, like, too fired up or expect too much from myself, he’s very, very good at just, you know, relaxing me and, like, reassuring me.
I’m really glad to be working with him.”
Emma is just broken in the top 100 in the live rankings. She aims to further her position. If she reaches the quarters, she will be ranked at least no.74.
