Emma Raducanu received criticism for her’mind-blowing decision’ and the people who are accompanying her.
Emma Raducanu has faced criticism for her “mind-blowing” tennis schedule, with warnings that she is traveling with “too many people around her.” The 21-year-old recently had to withdraw from her quarter-final match against Daria Kasatkina after suffering a ligament sprain in her left foot.
Raducanu shot to fame after her stunning victory at the 2021 US Open, where she defied the odds to win the title at just 18 years old. However, her career has struggled to gain momentum since that triumph, largely due to a string of fitness issues that have hampered her progress.
Raducanu opted to skip the French Open before making a strong run to the fourth round at Wimbledon during the summer. However, she was knocked out in the first round of the US Open.
The star, who has changed coaches frequently in recent seasons, has avoided many events, participating in only 13 tournaments so far this year. Her choices have come under scrutiny from strength and conditioning coach Kieron Vorster, who has previously worked with Tim Henman, Dan Evans, and Wayne Ferreira.
