I admit I don't follow tennis closely. But whenever I do see her mentioned she appears to have just pulled out of something mid match usually when losing heavily. Not a good reputation to get.

Maybe follow tennis a bit more closely before coming to weird conclusions?

Only observing what I've seen/read. As I said I don't follow it closely. As Banana said perhaps I should look more deeply before commenting.

I don't follow it closely either, I read your post and then did a quick Google 😉

Yep fair enough but I come from a pre Google age and don't go to it as my first point of information if at all.

Hold on a minute.
There’s only one top class level WTA tournament going on at any given time.
Its easy to forget how far she has come in 12 months. She s played a whole season at the top level for the first time ever. Ranking up to 30 with the trend still upward. She is fundamentally healthy, just seems to have run out of gas the last few weeks and she’s not alone there.
Even if she packs it in now until the Aussie Open prep, her season has been a massive step forward.

Hold on yourself the Emma’s GPG coaches insist she would be better off playing and winning in lesser events to improve confidence

Looks like your not the only one who has noticed a withdrawal pattern in this young player

One has more points but they are both full WTA events

Why do you put such effort into trolling this thread? What reaction are you looking for? Is it just attention seeking or desperately trying to be funny / zany? I'm just curious really :)

She frustrates me.. sometimes I am like get in there she is turning a corner and then I just get annoyed by poor defeats and injuries setting her back down the crap path for a few weeks or months and the cycle begins again. I actually want her to do well be an established top ten player consistent and injury free

It's ironic, considering she's mega-fit, that fitness is her biggest issue. But she seems to have shaken off years of niggles, now she needs to build a little match fitness.

Otherwise it seems very "Internet era", like so much of the rest of this damn forum - must overreact to every little thing. Zoom out and she's moving in the right direction, i reckon.

There's mega fit and then there is mega fit and then there is how you deploy mega fitness across 3 sets.

And then there are absolute bellends that think that she retires injured after being a set-up in every tournament without even checking. But still they post on here.

She's played the tour loads more than previous years which is good. That plus training is the only way she'll challenge for titles.

Not having a proper touring physio and coach isn't ideal still. Roig barely a coach really, Uncle Toni's mate. Doubt they last long, but that's no bad thing. He won't be meeting her for training every day when they live in different countries.

The most promising she looked was with Petchy but he was never giving up various very nice TV gigs permanently.

Next year massive. Same number of matches and there's a good chance a higher % will be wins.

That is certainly true this week, but I think you'll find that there is normally only one WTA event at a time. The occasions where there are more than one at the same time are pretty few and far between (max. 10 per season??) and they're normally/always in the same part of the world if that is the case.

Have a read of the BBC article above. The bit where it says the number of retirements per season.

Agree with you about Petchey. Not sure about Roig. You may well be right, but she does seem to have made some progress (results and ranking wise) since he came on board, so I'm currently reserving judgement.

Despite earning a seeding Spot Emma has been drawn to play Sabalenka if she reaches her seeded position in R3

R1 is a winnable match against a Thai woman who is playing using an injury ranking

Excellent news. Knock her out and it's a route to the final

However she's not doing too well in Hobart at the moment against an up-and-comming Aussie
 

Emma Raducanu

Sigh. Just knocked out by someone that has only won one match before this week and was outside the top 200.

She (the Aussie) played very well however.

Time to face up to the truth.
Her US Open win was amazing but similar to Leicester winning the PL.
Talented, one of the best in the UK but not a top 32 player

Er....so why is she 28 in the world?
Click to expand...
Like many over British players currently she will go on runs throughout the year getting to quarter and finals semi in tournaments and then spend 3 months losing round one matches. She is a decent pro not at the elite top ten level but from time to time will beat one of them. She can mix it in the 11-25 range but losing more than she will win overall against these opponents. So sits in the 26-50 world ranking range which is nothing to be sniffed at.

Why would now be the time?!

I'm actually optimistic that she'll put it all together this year

Interested in her career.

Problem is had she not one the USA open nobody would give a sh*t or just say doing well top 50 like we do about the other

No problems she will still be a top 32 player and best British female this time next year

Interesting post match comments about not playing the way she wanted to play, wanting to revert to a style of play from when she was younger and deciding that she needs to find answers from 'within' when it's not going well in a match.

Expect another split with a coach in the not too distant future. The current incumbent helped Nadal with a number of major wins.

She's had 7 coaches in 4 years and now she's saying "I want to be playing a different way. The misalignment with how I'm playing right now and how I want to be playing is something I want to work on,"

If she was a football club we'd be taking the mickey.
