Emma Raducanu hasn’t had a very good year in 2022, losing more matches than she’s won, but fellow Brit Tim Henman firmly believes that Raducanu will emerge as a stronger and better player in 2023.
This year has been quite interesting for Raducanu. She had some good moments, such as when she bageled Serena Williams in Cincinnati, but aside from a few wins like that, the Brit largely disappointed.
It wasn’t the type of season she had hoped for, and there are other troubling issues, including her unstable coaching situation, which is not ideal. It’s been one of the things most people wanted to see her address, but she hasn’t, and it could become a long-term problem.
Still, former ATP player Tim Henman, a committed backer of Raducanu and her potential, believes that things will be much better for her in the future.
He spoke about her future to the British publication, The Times, and acknowledged that working with Jez Green, who also worked with Andy Murray before, could help her build up her body the right way.
She has a good work ethic but needs proper guidance to prepare herself for the difficult schedule of the tennis tour. Henman further mentioned that he has been able to observe her practice in recent weeks and was impressed by what he’s seen, so it seems Raducanu might bring her A-game to the court next year.
The potential was always there, and she already has a Grand Slam trophy, so it’s known what she’s capable of at her best.
"For Emma, working with Jez Green, doing the track work, the gym work, using his experience and knowledge allied with her work ethic, she’ll definitely be fitter, stronger, faster. Having seen her train over the last four to six weeks, she’s really putting in those hard yards to build that resilience."
