After going through numerous coaches since her stunning US Open triumph in 2021, Robson<\/a> is pleased to see Raducanu extend her relationship Roig. The former British No.1 has been encouraged by what she has seen from Raducanu and Roig on the practice courts, praising the communication between the pair.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think at this point in her career, it helps to have that consistent voice. So just the fact they\u2019re getting on really well and have the same kind of ideas for her game [in pleasing],\u201d Robson told Sky Sports.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom what I’ve seen on the practice courts, it’s like they\u2019re gelling with the communication part. Then she\u2019s going to have hopefully another great year. But again, we just hope that she stays healthy, that’s always the key.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raducanu\u2019s season ended on a frustrating note. She retired during the second set of her clash against Ann Li in Wuhan last month with dizziness in hot and humid temperatures, later posting a picture on social media of herself at a doctor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

She said she felt better and chose to play the Ningbo Open the following week but was clearly not 100 per cent<\/a> and again lost her opening match. However, overall, 2025 has been a better year for Raducanu on the fitness front.<\/p>\n

Robson said: \u201cRaducanu was able to play week in, week out for the most part and lost a few close matches towards the end of the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut overall, we’re ending 2025 just saying that she needs to be able to stay healthy and for the most part, she’s done that. That\u2019s definitely been a key for her to rise up the rankings because I think we always knew that the level was there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After going through numerous coaches since her stunning US Open triumph in 2021, Robson is pleased to see…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":259202,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[6962,26393,48874,101,118,12700,56,54,55,107357,11572],"class_list":["post-259201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-emma-raducanu","tag-francisco-roig","tag-laura-robson","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-tennis-section","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wta-rankings-2025","tag-wta-tour"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
