Consultant for various British media, the old 80e world player, Mark Petchey, spoke at length about Emma Raducanu, who is struggling to regain her level from the 2021 US Open where she won the tournament to everyone's surprise.
And if some no longer believe the current 59e capable of competing with the best players in the world, Petchey is much more optimistic for his young compatriot.
“I will never limit his potential. I sincerely believe that she will win several Grand Slam tournaments before the end of her career. I think it's a bit of a stretch to say she could win the Australian Open, but I also don't think it's out of reach. All I know is that if she is healthy, has enough matches under her belt before Australia and has a favorable draw, she will have the opportunity to fight for the title. Obviously, a more realistic goal would be to reach the quarter-finals at Melbourne Park. I firmly believe in following your own path. There was certainly no plan for Emma to win the US Open, which she did. And I don't think she should follow anyone's path. »
