Broady defends Raducanu: "You can't win a Grand Slam by luck".
Since her victory at the 2021 US Open, Emma Raducanu has struggled to confirm the hopes placed in her, having had numerous injuries and inconsistent results.
For Tennis365, her compatriot Liam Broady defended her against the criticism she regularly receives: "People who have that mentality and think Emma was lucky when she won the US Open don't understand tennis.
You hear them say it was a one-off Grand Slam and she won it by chance.
If you understand tennis, you'll know that's not possible. You can't come out of qualifying, win seven matches without losing a set and win a Grand Slam by chance.
She's got the level and she needs to find it. But it's extremely difficult not to see all these articles on the internet and fall into negativity."
