Since her historic victory at the US Open at just 18 years old, Emma Raducanu has experienced a mixed, sometimes even chaotic, journey.

Injuries, instability, and excessive expectations have hindered her progress to the point of dropping her out of the Top 300 in early 2024.

But 2025 marked a spectacular comeback. Back to 29th in the world, close to a seeded status at the US Open, Raducanu is no longer a promise: she is becoming a threat again.

Her partnership with Francisco Roig, a major figure and former right-hand man of Rafael Nadal, is changing many things: consistency, game vision, and above all, stability.

Here is what the experts think:

Jonathan Overend, Sky Sports commentator: "This year has been a real year of progress for Emma Raducanu and the hope of seeing her back at her best level is very real."

Tim Henman, former world No. 4: "She needs regularity and continuity, and with Francisco Roig, she finally has that."

Laura Robson, former world No. 27: "I can't imagine the pressure she must have felt. Everyone was waiting for her to repeat the feat. It's strong to have come back like this."

For the first time in a long time, the experts are unanimous: Raducanu is finally on the right track.
