Betway’s Global Tennis Ambassador, shared Emma Raducanu’s upcoming 2024 season.
Roddick, a US Open victor himself, offered thoughts on Raducanu’s situation, stating, “It’s challenging because we’re unsure if it’s a recurrence of her previous injuries, a fitness concern, or a deliberate decision due to a well-structured training block.”
Expressing reservations about the timing of exhibition events like the one in Macau in December, Roddick noted, “Playing exhibitions right after or before the season ends allows for more uninterrupted training. Perhaps that’s what she felt was necessary, but I can only speculate.”
Highlighting the importance of match practice before a Grand Slam appearance, Roddick emphasized, “For Raducanu to compete in the Australian Open, she’ll need match experience beforehand, preferably in one or two events. There are no guarantees in tennis; those matches are crucial.”
Roddick expressed curiosity about Raducanu’s intended schedule and anticipated further announcements in the upcoming days or weeks. He stressed the significance of Raducanu’s preparation strategy, especially considering the unpredictability of the sport.
As Raducanu gears up for the 2024 season, Roddick’s assessment underscores the necessity for a strategic approach and adequate match play before major tournaments, emphasizing the importance of preparation and competitive experience in the tennis circuit.
