Emma Raducanu is trying to find her way after her fantastic US Open title. In the last few months, the British sensation learned that to play on the main tour, she needs to dramatically improve her fitness since she has been struggling too much with all sorts of injuries.
During the press conference that precedes the French open, Emma stressed the fact that she has been focussing on her core. She commented:
“I am putting together something, figuring out what works physically, because that is obviously an element of my game that needs to be looked at,’ she said.
The last few days maybe after the back injury I have definitely been increasing my gym work and I have been doing a lot more. I think it’s something I’m definitely learning to enjoy with each bit that I do. I kind of get that positive reinforcement and I feel really good about myself.
It’s something that I think helps you mentally as well if you know you’ve definitely put the work in.”
