Tim Henman has given the key for Emma Raducanu to return to her best level and thus climb back into the top 10, because by talent, no one doubts she is capable of it. "I think we all appreciate, understand, and see how good she could become. If she continues adding these pieces to the puzzle, there's no reason why she can't break into the top 20 and then knock on the door of the top 10. As much as we move away from the victory at the US Open, we feel that the media attention will never fade. She is a very good athlete, but when she stretches, she can't handle the force she receives and return it, and that's where the gym work comes into play," he stressed on Sky Sports.
