After conquering the US Open title, Emma Raducanu had a fantastic 2021, starting from the qualifications. Even if Emma’s run was amazing, there are some doubts that she can have consistent results in 2022.
Martina Navratilova about Emma Raducanu
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova expresses her doubts about Emma having an easy ride in 2022.
Martina commented:
“It’s going to be hard for her this year. Players have seen her, they know what to do against her. But most of all, she just needs matches.
She’s the biggest wildcard for me. Because clearly, she has the ability to play great tennis. Can she replicate it consistently enough? Eight WTA-level tournaments in her life?
That’s half a season. I’d go into Wimbledon with ten, 12 matches under my belt. It’s going to be so much to handle physically, playing more matches, but everybody’s going to be gunning for her.
