British tennis star Emma Raducanu has decided to spend a week in Singapore before starting her new tennis season in New Zealand. Emma did not miss the opportunity to visit the city and enjoy the local food. This was her last Instagram post of her before going to Auckland.
Now world No. 78, Emma played her last match on October 4 when she surrendered to world No.
8 Darya Kasatkina 7-5 6-4 in the 1st round in Ostrava. Emma Raducanu’s best result in 2022 was reaching the semifinals in Seoul. The winner of the 2021 Us Open has faced a complicated year, between injuries and a performance that is really far from the one that led her to win a Grand Slam tournament at a very young age.
Latests on Emma Raducanu
Many expect a big reaction but in the meantime Emma shines on social media. Like Novak Djokovic, Emma Raducanu was also among the protagonists of the World Cup final between France and Argentina. On the one hand, the Serbian champion was the protagonist of a social shot with the president of PSG Al Khelaifi and other great sportsmen such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic (his great friend of him) or the MMA star Nurmagomedov.
After several experiments and trial periods, Emma seems to have finally found the right path. The 2021 US Open winner has announced that Sebastian Sachs will be her new full-time coach. The German coach has collaborated with players of the caliber of Belinda Bencic and Julia Gorges despite him having just turned thirty.
The Stuttgart native was part of the Bencic team during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, when the Swiss took the gold medal. Raducanu’s goal is to redeem a 2022 characterized by more lows than highs. The British lost eight times in her debut and only once, at the WTA 250 tournament in Seoul, she didn’t manage to go beyond the quarterfinals.
The 20-year-old has also received criticism for signing numerous endorsement deals with some of the world’s most famous companies, including Tiffany & Co, Dior, Porsche and Vodafone UK. According to some tennis fans, who have expressed their opinion by commenting on her latest performance on the web, the player would have given more weight to off-court factors than to the tournaments played.
