Emma Raducanu trains in to the night as she refuses to give up amid her career’s longest losing streak
Emma Raducanu Shares Training Update Amid Ongoing Struggles
Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu recently offered fans a glimpse into her training regimen as she works to regain her form following a slow start to the season.
Raducanu’s latest appearance came at the Qatar Open, where she was eliminated in the first round after a hard-fought battle against Ekaterina Alexandrova. Despite showing resilience, the Russian proved too strong, winning 6-3, 7-5.
Determined to turn things around, the 21-year-old Brit was recently spotted practicing her serve during an intense training session. She shared an update via Instagram, giving fans a peek into her preparation as she looks to bounce back from a rough patch.
Raducanu’s Fitness Coach Provides Update
In addition to Raducanu’s training session, her fitness coach also shared a brief update on her progress. The Japanese trainer posted a video of their weight training session, labeling it:
“Work in progress.”
Raducanu’s current struggles come despite a promising end to 2024. She entered Doha after early exits in Singapore and Abu Dhabi, and although she made it to the third round of the Australian Open, she was eliminated by Iga Świątek in straight sets.
She is currently on a four-match losing streak, the longest of her main tour career, and is working hard to regain momentum ahead of her next tournament.
Raducanu on Finding the Right Coach
Since her historic 2021 US Open triumph, Raducanu has struggled with consistency and has yet to make a deep run at another major event. She has worked with six different coaches in the past three and a half years but has yet to find a long-term fit.
After parting ways with Nick Cavaday, Raducanu is still in search of a new coach but is in no rush to make a decision.
“It’s a decision that I want to take my time with. I think that’s why I haven’t necessarily jumped into something straight away because I want to make sure it’s the right fit,” Raducanu explained.
For now, the former World No. 10 remains focused on training and does not have immediate plans to hire a coach.
“I’m using this time to figure out what I really value. I haven’t come to any plans or decisions yet, so I’m just taking the next couple of weeks to see how I feel before making a decision,” she added.
Raducanu’s Next Tournament: Dubai Tennis Championships
While Raducanu has yet to confirm her next tournament, she is expected to compete in the 2025 Dubai Tennis Championships, set to begin on February 16.
The WTA 1000 event will feature top players like Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Świątek, with Jasmine Paolini returning as the defending champion. Raducanu will look to rediscover her form and put an end to her losing streak when she steps back on the court.
