Emma Raducanu has found a unique way to rediscover her form on the tennis court, thanks to a game involving a mini-trampoline. Known as Spikeball or roundnet, this innovative activity has become a key part of her pre-match routine. Played with a small trampoline and a ball, Spikeball is a dynamic and engaging game that involves two teams of two players. The objective is to spike the ball onto the trampoline in a way that makes it difficult for the opposing team to return.
Raducanu has credited this game with helping her relax and maintain a positive mindset during the Miami Open. By incorporating Spikeball into her warm-up, she has been able to strike a balance between focus and fun. This approach has brought her a series of victories, marking her best performance on the WTA Tour since her US Open triumph. The game has not only added an element of enjoyment to her preparation but also allowed her to feel more at ease on the court.
The British tennis star has emphasized the importance of finding joy in her routine, especially given the pressures of professional sports. Her team, including her fitness trainer and coach, has supported this shift towards a more relaxed and playful approach. This change has been instrumental in her recent success, as she continues to make strides in her career with renewed confidence and energy.
