Emma Raducanu

[Wales-Bales]

Been a bit of a damp squid™️ since winning the US Open last year. I don't suppose she is too worried though, as she makes more money modelling and selling things these days.

Can she play as a striker?

I imagine at that age winning and getting the sponsorships can really make the focus fade

Re: Emma Raducanu

Tbf, sounds like she had a tough draw against a resurgent player who beat the World No.1 at Wimbledon recently. Also had several niggling injuries.

She has been underperforming since winning the title, and keeps on changing her coach.

Re: Emma Raducanu

She had a tough draw and the weight of expectation on her shoulders. Her achievement 12 months ago was extraordinary and now she's out she can put that behind her and concentrate on building a successful career. She'll do fine.

Perhaps there were unrealistic expectations.

It certainly seems like it. She was still a qualifier to the US Open last year. If people treat her like Serena Williams then of course she'll underperform that.

She actually just beat Serena Williams the other day 6-4, 6-0.

Doing a very good impression of a washed up stoned rock star

If she has made £27 million in the last year I would knock the tennis on the head and get a hobby.

She’s won a major. Made a load of money. Job done.

Perhaps tennis will be her hobby ?

Quite a few players have won a Grand Slam title at a young age, and they usually carry on playing at the same level with many of them winning more Grand Slam titles, as well as other ranking tournaments. I can't think of anyone that dropped to a low performance level, and had problems with every single coach they worked with.
