Emma Raducanu closed out the 2024 season in the best possible way, leaving incredible sensations on the court at the Billie Jean King Cup, even though Great Britain could not secure the trophy. The young tennis player has made recent changes to her team, adding a new signing to take that definitive step and bring out her best version.

"I feel very strong. I feel very fit. The only thing I can't talk about is that I haven't played as many matches. So it's different," explained Emma to a group of British journalists, as reported by Tennis Majors. "On the training court I feel great. I feel like I'm running, diving across the court, but it's different when playing matches. I played a few in the Fed Cup and felt good. I felt that I was recovering well. I didn't get tired in the matches. It would be good to see as the level increases, and if I have to play more consecutively, how I will react."

Big goals

"I think it's good because, as individuals, I think we are quite similar in the sense that we are very focused on our work," Raducanu said about Nakamura, her most recent signing. "When we work, we don't talk or chat about other things. It's like our moment of concentration. When we are off the court or in the gym, we talk about whatever. On the court, we're not chitchatting and those things. I think it's good to have someone who is on the same wavelength as you."

"It's going to help me explore how far I can go, for example, athletically. I think it's one of my strong points that I haven't achieved yet. I think I can become one of the best tennis athletes and I'm looking forward to seeing all that I can do. And I think he's going to help me a lot. The way I'm working with him and Nick is much more integrated..."
