A yes, but no, an almost, a want and I can’t. In short, a bitter feeling of being held back by injuries and the impossibility of working on her tennis. That’s what he’s experienced Emma Raducanu during a 2024 that wants to end in a very special way. The Billie-Jean King Cup 2024 can be a very important moral challenge for the British, but also a test bed.
Proof of this was the great competitive attitude that was seen in the young British woman during her duel against Niemeier. Winning 6-4 6-4 was important for Emma Raducanu and her desire to prove to herself that, when she is free of physical discomfort, she is a player to be taken into account in big events. But, above all, he was decisive in implementing a revolutionary change in his tennis, forged during his last stay in dry dock due to injuries and a demanding subsequent training block.
If there is something that Raducanu is characterized by, it is his natural ability to play tennis, that overflowing natural talent that he possesses, but that must be polished. She is a very undeveloped tennis player, with a long way to go in technical, tactical and mental aspects. The injuries have not only prevented her from competing continuously, but have interrupted her progressive professional development. “Two and a half months have passed since my last game, it is never easy to compete again after an injury. I feel good physically, calm on an emotional level and very motivated,” she said at a press conference after her debut in the Billie-Jean King Cup 2024.
– Raducanu admits to having worked hard to improve his serve
“I love team competitions, the atmosphere is great, having people supporting me and giving me advice is a great feeling and I think I am very good at competing in this context. My good performance is the result of three weeks of demanding and very positives. I hope that this week the fruits of my hard work will be seen,” declared a Raducanu who took advantage of these weeks to make a structural change in her tennis.
And one of the aspects that required tactical intervention was his serve. This is how she explained it herself Emma Raducanudemonstrating his maturity and humility. “After getting injured in Seoul, I realized that I had to make my serve a much more deadly weapon. I have lengthened my swing a little more, made my movements more fluid and I am looking to provide more power and take risks. I have to accept making some double faults, but I consider that I am on the right path. Sometimes, I tend to serve like I did before and they have to correct me, but I am satisfied with the change. I will continue working on it during the preseason,” said a woman who dreams. with the title in Billie-Jean King Cup 2024.
