Emma Raducanu, a young British tennis player, was the hero of the recent tennis summer season, showing the world how to play at Wimbledon and the US Open at the age of 18.
However, her victory at Flushing Meadows could have both positive and negative consequences for her career.
Her tennis mental game will rely heavily on pressure management.
A good team can assist you in achieving your goals. Many, however, have attacked young Emma’s decision to change the coach with whom she won in New York.
Mark Petchey, a former English tennis player who reached number 80 in the world in 1994, spoke about Emma Raducanu in a new interview published by We Love Tennis.
“People must understand that there it will be many collaborations over the course of his career, rather than a recruitment or a firing of coaches,” he said as per reports on TennisHead.
“It’s a very personal thing, people need to stop clinging to hiring and firing.
“Especially when you are dealing with someone as unique as an 18-year-old girl who has won a Grand Slam tournament and who wants to enjoy a good partnership.
“Also I think, to be honest, Emma will have quite a few coaches over the course of her career.
“This is because she will take what she needs from someone and in the meantime, she will find another person who will be useful for something else.
“She is very proactive about how she wants to build her own game.”
