It's becoming routine: Wimbledon is approaching, and with it, British tennis is once again excited about Emma Raducanu. Since her breakthrough at the London major in 2021, two months before her success at the US Open, all hopes of seeing a British player lift the champion's trophy at home, something that has not happened since 1977, have been placed on her.

Despite several years where the 23-year-old did not meet expectations, she has been rekindling hope in her supporters for the past couple of editions. In 2024, she fell in the round of 16, and although last year it was in the third round, she posed difficulties for the world number one, Aryna Sabalenka. But this year, hope increases after witnessing her performance at the WTA Queen's, where she reached the final after almost three months without playing due to illness.

Furthermore, another significant reason that could justify optimism in the British player is her reunion, nearly five years later, with the coach she started her career with and with whom she won the US Open in 2021: Andrew Richardson. A decision that could be crucial for Raducanu's chances at Wimbledon. At least that's what Tin Henman thinks.

The former world number four and British tennis legend stated in an interview with The Guardian that he sees Richardson's return, one of his best friends, to work with Raducanu positively: "Of course, it's the right decision. He was a good player and understands the game well. He has a good relationship with Emma, as they have known each other since she was a teenager."

The four-time Wimbledon semifinalist lamented the abrupt end to Richardson's coaching tenure with Raducanu: "I was surprised he decided not to work with her. Since then, she has had many coaches, and now I truly hope that her decision to return to Andrew will benefit both of them."

Henman also shared his opinion on the constant changes of coaches by the tennis player, eight in five years: "Emma has had eight or nine coaches, but it's her decision. I sought consistency, continuity, and building a good relationship, which is why I had three coaches in 16 years."

Now that she has reunited with Richardson and seems to have found some consistency in her tennis, Henman sees the possibility of Raducanu repeating success in a Grand Slam, although he also deems it challenging: "It would be very difficult. Not many people win Grand Slams, so if you've done it once, you could do it again. But it's all about the process. She needs to become physically stronger to increase her pace of play, match count, shot power, speed of movement, and endurance," concluded a Tin Henman happy that his friend Andrew Richardson and Emma Raducanu are working together again, both striving for a common goal: Wimbledon.
