Emma Raducanu understands that she surprised many of her fans with some of her choices, but the Brit is confident in the decision she made.
Raducanu became a Grand Slam champion at a teenage age, which is not something that many tennis players can say. Since then, the spotlight has been on her, with fans questioning some of her choices and decisions, especially when it came to coaching.
The British player recently spoke to the WSJ Magazine and admitted that she understands her coaching decisions have left many surprised, but at the same time, she stood by them.
"That is definitely a journey [where] I’m learning on the way but it’s just what works for me as an individual. It might not work for anyone else, and people might look at me like I’m crazy, but I trust my own decision-making and my own beliefs of what I think is right for myself."
"I’m pretty confident in how I’m working and my mindset and outlook towards how I’m approaching my tennis right."
Raducanu also revealed some interesting facts about her life, explaining that she brings her own milk so she can have the same coffee every day. She also eats the same dinner every day during events while also enjoying smoked salmon often.
The British player also recently admitted that when it comes to match days, she doesn't like to overthink it too much, simply focusing on the task at hand.
"I don’t like to overthink my match days, because then you put a lot of emphasis and additional pressure you don’t actually want. I think going forward I’ll probably be putting a lot more emphasis on sparring. I like to mix it up. I like to work very specifically and I’m very clear on what I want to work on. A lot of the time those ideas come from myself."
