Andy Roddick has expressed optimism about Emma Raducanu’s collaboration with Mark Petchey, suggesting it could lead to significant improvements in her game. Raducanu, who has faced challenges with consistency and injuries since her breakthrough at the 2021 US Open, showed glimpses of her potential during the Miami Open.
At the tournament, Raducanu defeated high-ranked opponents like Emma Navarro and Amanda Anisimova before falling to Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinals. Her performance caught the attention of Roddick, who praised her composure and skill on the court. He noted that Raducanu appeared relaxed and confident, qualities that could be attributed to her work with Petchey.
Although Petchey is not officially part of her coaching team, his influence has been evident. Roddick highlighted Petchey’s deep understanding of the game and his ability to bring out the best in players. He believes that if Raducanu continues to work with Petchey, she could regain her form and climb back up the rankings.
This potential partnership has sparked excitement among fans and analysts, who are eager to see if Raducanu can build on her recent success and establish herself as a consistent force in women’s tennis.
