"Emma Raducanu has confirmed that Torben Beltz, the former long-time coach of Angelique Kerber, will be her new coach as she prepares for her first full season on tour in 2022. Raducanu also laughed off comments from Eddie Jones, the England rugby head coach, who claimed that she was distracted from her sport by photoshoots and wearing Christian Dior clothes"



Well... who is laughing now? Maybe she should have listened to her critics.



"Emma Raducanu split from the coach, she decided to dispense with the services of Andrew Richardson, despite her shock victory in New York" ... and this is where the problems began



I hope she will find the right path again, but she needs a lot of mental trainings

Emma Flopacanu. Damn.

She should have stuck with her old coach. Its looking embarrassingly clear now. Many of these niggles and mental errors could potentially have been avoided when working closely to people who had helped build her. It really was anunecessary risk at the wrong moment in her career. Lets hope she finds the right people to get her back on track before she loses sight of the rails altogether. Its really hard to see where her career will head from here, especially as other players get used to her game and exploit the same weaknesses.

Go Emma!

I bet on you winning this tournament EMMA. @33/1 ...now after beating Garcia 14/1 .

Emma 🇬🇧, for the win in 3 sets

Martic

Those last few games Emma looked a bit addled.

Well. She's rallied back quite well.

Error Raducanu took over

She doesn’t have the power to outhit the power players like Rybakina, and she lacks the stamina to outlast the consistent players like martic

Emma raducannnnnuuuuuuu in the twoooo sets

Let’s go Emma 🇬🇧

Emma playing pretty well here. Best that I have seen her since the USO. Has she finally landed?

Hah. Then she gets broken.

She wont land properly until a whole year on the circuit which is this yr

She's playing solid, smart tennis.

Except that game to lose it with a DF.

Still lacking consistency and belief. Again likely she is missing the extra few % her old coach gave. Want her to close the match in 2, but hard to see where this ia going

Petra on high

Yikes. Emma's left...as in gone. Is it fitness? She looks strained and stressed.

Oh look. She's back.

I think it is adrenaline

Well. Not well enough I guess.

So tense in the end...

Good for Petra to ride it out through the ups and downs.

Tough loss, should have won this match. Emma can be proud though, best tennis since USO for her. Good win for Petra.

Lower back issues, stamina low.

Petra grabs the game of Emma quickly..which became very easier for Petra to pick her..

Good Petra is back!! Don't be so bummed Emma u lost to a good opponent
