Emma Raducanu reveals the key factor of her game to recover her best version

A yes, but not quite, an almost, a desire but inability. Ultimately, a bitter feeling of being held back by injuries and the impossibility of working on her tennis. That's what Emma Raducanu has experienced during a 2024 that she wants to finish in a very special way. The Billie-Jean King Cup 2024 could be a very important morale booster for the Briton, but also a testing ground.

Proof of this was the great competitive attitude shown by the young British woman during her match against Niemeier. Winning 6-4 6-4 was significant for Emma Raducanu and her determination to prove to herself that when free from physical discomfort, she is a player to be reckoned with in major events. However, it was crucial above all to put into practice a revolutionary change in her tennis, forged during her recent dry spell due to injuries and a demanding subsequent training block.

If there is something that characterizes Raducanu, it is her natural ease in playing tennis, her overflowing natural talent that needs refining. She is a player with much room to grow in technical, tactical, and mental aspects. Injuries have not only prevented her from consistent competition but have also interrupted her progressive professional development. "It's been two and a half months since my last match, it's never easy to return to competition after an injury. I feel good physically, emotionally calm, and very motivated," she said in a press conference after her debut in the Billie-Jean King Cup 2024.

"I love team competitions, the atmosphere is great, having people supporting and advising me is a great feeling, and I think I perform well in this context. My good performance is the result of three weeks of demanding and very positive training. I hope that this week will show the results of my hard work," stated Raducanu, who took advantage of these weeks to make a structural change in her tennis.

One of the tactical aspects that required intervention was her serve. This was explained by Emma Raducanu herself, showing her maturity and humility. "After getting injured in Seoul, I realized that I had to turn my serve into a much deadlier weapon. I elongated the swing a bit, made my movements smoother, and sought to add more power while taking risks. I must accept making some double faults, but I believe I am on the right path. Sometimes, I tend to serve as I did before, and I need to be corrected, but I am satisfied with the change. I will continue working on it during the pre-season," said a woman who dreams of winning the Billie-Jean King Cup 2024.
