Another day, another reboot. Emma Raducanu\u2019s tennis career is starting to feel like a Marvel origin story stuck in endless sequels with new coaches, new mentors and fresh hope – but there’s no box office smash.<\/p>\n
The latest casting? Rafael Nadal<\/a>\u2019s former right-hand man Francis Roig.<\/p>\n It looks like a smart appointment from the outside, but hiring the coaches of the best players in the world doesn’t necessarily mean you will become the best player in the world.<\/p>\n If it did, we’d all be sitting here talking about Holger Rune.<\/p>\n The top-10 star hired Severin Luthi, Roger Federer<\/a>‘s coach of 15 years, and paired him with Boris Becker, who has guided Novak Djokovic<\/a> and Jannik Sinner<\/a>.<\/p>\n He formed an Avengers-style backroom set-up but never got beyond the quarter-finals of a Slam.<\/p>\n It turns out you can have Nick Fury, Iron Man and Captain America in your corner – but if you’re swinging the racquet like Thor after a night on the mead, you’re not winning any battles.<\/p>\n Raducanu\u2019s choice of Roig feels more like drafting in Professor X – a wise, calming presence who\u2019s helped shape a generational talent before.<\/p>\n But even with the best minds in your corner, it doesn’t give you superpowers. It\u2019s about resilience, consistency and turning up every day without needing a cape.<\/p>\n Hamilton spits out dummy<\/p>\n
