Emma Raducanu told what she must prioritise to become a major force again

  • Tim Henman has advised Emma Raducanu to prioritise improving her physicality to compete effectively with top-ranked players, as she heads to Indian Wells.
  • Raducanu's season has been turbulent, marked by a foot injury, a coaching change with Francisco Roig, and illness, despite reaching a final in Romania.
  • Henman noted that Raducanu's physical strength is not yet at the level of players like Aryna Sabalenka or Iga Swiatek, suggesting she needs to close this gap.
  • Regarding coaching, Raducanu is being assisted by Mark Petchey for Indian Wells, with Henman questioning her frequent coaching changes and suggesting she might be better off without a permanent coach.
  • Jack Draper is also competing at Indian Wells, defending his title after a significant injury layoff due to a bone bruise, with Henman stressing the importance of patience and staying injury-free for his long-term recovery.
