The emergence of Emma Raducanu at that US Open 2021, where she lifted the title after overcoming the qualifying round, left the tennis world so impressed that they have not stopped believing in her and her chances of becoming that astonishing player once again. Despite having gone through nine coaches in five years and multiple injuries and surgeries, as well as challenging situations off the court, the fans do not lose hope.
Furthermore, in the moments when she has been healthy and able to play her tennis, she has shown that she has the level to aspire to greater things. This was evident in her week at WTA Queen’s, where she reached the final, displaying great tennis on such a demanding and technical surface like grass.

Rick Macci trusts that Emma Raducanu will rediscover her best version
But it's not only the fans who still believe in her; also important figures in tennis like Rick Macci, former coach of Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Jennifer Capriati, Maria Sharapova, and Andy Roddick, among many others, spoke in an interview for Tennis365.
"When you have that much talent, and you do what she did at the US Open, without dropping a single set, qualifying, and winning a Grand Slam, talent doesn't disappear. What you lose is confidence, and perhaps a bit of physical condition. So, she still has the talent and ability. Now, mentally, is it the most important thing for Raducanu? I don't know because I'm not in that circle."
The American continued his defense of Emma Raducanu: "She is a top 10 player, there is no doubt about it, in terms of talent. But talent alone doesn't take you to the top 10. The key is how you compete in each match. Lately, she has had some rather abrupt ups and downs. But everything ends when one gives up, and I hope she continues to strive. I have no doubt that she can return to the top 10 and aim to win Grand Slams. But that is up to her. I am sure she is doing everything she can."
This news is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, "No me cabe la menor duda de que Raducanu puede volver al top 10 y aspirar a ganar Grand Slams"
