Emma Raducanu, the rising star of British tennis, delivered an impressive performance at the Cincinnati Open, signalling a promising new chapter in her career under the mentorship of her recently appointed coach, Lluis Roig.
The 20-year-old, who stunned the world with her US Open victory in 2021, displayed renewed confidence and tactical sharpness on the court. Fans and analysts alike noted her aggressive baseline play and improved serve, which could be attributed to Roig's influence.
A Fresh Start with Lluis Roig
Raducanu's partnership with Roig, a seasoned coach with experience working with top WTA players, appears to be paying dividends. The Spaniard, known for his meticulous approach to technique and strategy, has been working closely with Raducanu to refine her game.
"It's been a great learning experience so far," Raducanu said in a post-match interview. "Lluis brings a lot of knowledge, and we're building something strong together."
Road to the US Open
With the US Open just around the corner, Raducanu's performance in Cincinnati has sparked optimism among her supporters. A deep run in the tournament could provide the perfect momentum heading into Flushing Meadows, where she will defend her historic title.
"Every match is an opportunity to grow," Raducanu added. "I'm taking it one step at a time and focusing on my development."
As the tennis world watches closely, Raducanu's journey under Roig's guidance could mark the beginning of a dominant phase in her young career.
