Emma Raducanu is determined to revive her tennis career and protect her lucrative sponsorship deals despite facing immense challenges.
The 22-year-old star has had a tough run since her stunning victory at the 2021 US Open, plagued by a series of injuries that have dampened her on-court performances.
Her journey has been further complicated by a revolving door of coaches, each bringing their own style but none managing to deliver the consistency she craves.
In a bold new strategy, Raducanu has recently welcomed fitness trainer Yutaka Nakamura into her coaching setup. Known for his successful collaborations with former Grand Slam champions like Maria Sharapova and , Nakamura brings a wealth of experience to Raducanu’s camp.
With optimism in her voice, Raducanu expressed her belief that, with Nakamura’s guidance, she has the potential to “become one of the best athletes out there in tennis.” The pressure is on, but her resolute spirit shines through as she looks to turn her fortunes around and reclaim her place among the elite in the sport.
