Emma Raducanu is hoping to develop a better base level in 2026 so she can dictate matches more frequently and worry less about the strengths of her opponent.<\/p>\n
The British number one has just begun a month of pre-season training with coach Francisco Roig in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
Work in London in recent weeks has been primarily gym-based as the 2021 US Open champion recovers from light bone bruising in her right foot, which led to her pulling out of two exhibitions in the United States.<\/p>\n
This season the world number 29 completed 50 matches for the first time in her career, and is now looking forward to seeing what Roig can add to her game.<\/p>\n
“He wants me to focus a lot more on building a better Emma Raducanu and a better base level,” the 23-year-old said.<\/p>\n
“It’s something that I don’t think I’ve necessarily done before. I’ve always been more tactical, more just having to exploit their weaknesses if they have any, and trying to be very crafty.<\/p>\n
“And it works. But the ideal is that you don’t have to necessarily think too much about the other players – you can just go and execute your game and know that you can win.<\/p>\n
“He’s trying to build a better quality, not necessarily by changing my physiological capacities, but by using better technique, better timing and better movement.<\/p>\n
“I think being able to dictate the game a lot more is a goal of mine, so I don’t necessarily have to run as much.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emma Raducanu is hoping to develop a better base level in 2026 so she can dictate matches more…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294744,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-294743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294743","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=294743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294743\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=294743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=294743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
