Emma Raducanu seems to be finding in this 2025 Miami Open the turning point she has been pursuing for so many months. Her victory over Amanda Anisimova in two sets propels her into the quarterfinals of the American tournament, where she will face Jessica Pegula. In a press conference, the British tennis player highlights the key to her good streak, the importance of staying clear of injuries, and how she feels in Miami.
"I am very happy to have gotten through this match against Amanda. She is in very good form and has won many matches this year, including a WTA 1000, she is among the top 20. I am very proud of how I was there for every ball from the first point, working very hard in every exchange. It is not easy to play against someone you get along with so well, but I am glad to have put that aside on the court today," Raducanu confessed to the media.
"I feel comfortable. I feel that in my environment, with the people I am with, I can be myself, express myself unabashedly and be true to myself; that is important to me. I am very happy with how things are both on and off the court right now and with being able to transfer them to my tennis."
What has changed?
"For me, what I am most proud of is having found the competitive spirit and being there for every ball. That is what has been lacking in recent months and even in some years. My biggest victory is feeling hungry, feeling competitive on the court, wanting to chase after every ball."
"I step onto the court knowing that I am going to be present in every point, in every ball. So far, it has worked. I am very happy, honestly. I am thinking less, which is probably good, and I try to let my creativity flow because I believe that is when I play my best tennis. I don't think, I fight for every ball, and I follow my instincts."
