a preferred source on Google to your favourites list<\/a> for tennis coverage you can trust.<\/p>\n\u201cObviously, have to take some positives. The first match here was better than a lot of matches I\u2019ve been playing recently.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut yeah, a match like that [against Anisimova] is never easy to take afterwards. I couldn\u2019t really get into the rally.\u201d<\/p>\n
Raducanu reunited with her former coach Mark Petchey in Indian Wells, and she addressed whether she will continue working with the former British No 1 ahead of the Miami Open.<\/p>\n
\u201cMark helped me out a lot this week and it was nice to be on court with him again,\u201d said Raducanu.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he will be commentating for Tennis Channel this week, probably until the end, so I don\u2019t know how much time I will get with him before Miami.\u201d<\/p>\n
In her press conference, Raducanu was honest about the firepower \u201cgap\u201d she felt between herself and Anisimova.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I\u2019m playing someone who\u2019s at the top like that, I think they have an extra 10 miles an hour on their serve than me,\u201d said the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I\u2019m not feeling it, that gap feels more evident in terms of weight of shot, in terms of power.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just feel a little bit behind and your punches aren\u2019t landing as much as theirs are.<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to be aggressive when playing those players, but I think there\u2019s still a long way to go to be doing that. I need to use my strengths and probably mix it up a bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n
