Despite her recent struggles and odd career choices, Mats Wilander firmly believes that Emma Raducanu can become the best player in the world.

Raducanu had a rough year last year, dealing with various ailments and being unable to play consistently. She didn't get off to a good start this year, hurting her ankle in the opening week of the season. Despite this, Wilander believes she has what it takes to become great.
