Going through coaches like packs of smarties would suggest there is
Perhaps the problem is middle aged blokes like us sitting watching the tele with a bag of crisps rushing to judgement.
 

Emma Raducanu

Why?

How many coaches have all the other players "gone through"?

Some people are absolutely desperate to see her fail because she's attractive and has a few quid. It's what we do in this country and it's really very sad.

Until she goes on a run at a tournament of course, then it will be "Come on Emma"
:rolleyes:

I'm not seeing loads of posts about Jack Draper's injury or Katie Boulter terrible form. I have no idea how many coaches Sonay Kartel has had. If it wasn't for her brilliant US Open win, I'd not be seeing a mention of Radacanu on here. She got a bit full of herself didn't she, can't be having that. It's very, very odd.

Seems from my research that if your a professional tennis and don't change coaches regularly then your the odd one putting loyalty first!!!

All of the major players seem to be in double figures. Djokovic has had 16 by the looks of it.

Ok so some on here need to change their narratives to Emma simply doesn't change coaches often enough to be a top player :)

Because there’s so much noise around her, as a very occasional tennis fan it’s hard to get any perspective. I was quite surprised to look at her current ranking (29) and see how quickly she’d made it back up the charts in 2025. Just hope she gets properly fit to do herself justice in ‘26.

Since the age of six , Kartal has been coached by Julie Hobbs, who as Julie Pullin reached the second round of the Wimbledon ladies' doubles tournament in 2000.

And there you have it ladies and gentleman the reason why Kartal has never won a major…….

I hope she finds her form and comes good and wins events (even second or third division events) even if not majors.

Don't be encouraging some on here as they will start carrying on about how she should be playing in the Lamas Park invititational to build confidence and win events

Emma is due oncourt again in Romania
Todays match is against Maja Chwalińska of Poland

Who ?
Who ?

Definitely a winnable match
 

Emma Raducanu

First set she wins 6 0

Big improvement on being 5 0 down like yesterday
 

Emma Raducanu

Yep, dopped precisely one point on her serve in the set and that was at set point!
 

Emma Raducanu

Emma winning the semi (so far)
One set in the bag
 

Emma Raducanu

She’s in a proper battle though. Moonball central from the other end. Very tight first set. 3 Points to break for 2-1 up….
 

Emma Raducanu

Lost the second set and immediately a break down in the 3rd. Needs to find some reserves of energy, fight and more variety (drop shots please) , but not looking good right now.
Edit: breaks back! Woop woop!!

She played some excellent tennis in patches. But also let her opponent back into the match several times. Be interesting to see how she does tomorrow.

Up 5 places in the rankings too. Now at 25.
 

Emma Raducanu

Full credit to her opponent, though, who just kept hanging on in there, saving 3 match points at 5-2 in the final set, in a match lasting about 3 hours.

Final today is on at 1430

Playing the home favourite Sorana Cirstea who I believe could be playing her farewell match in Romania as she is retiring soon

I think she was the player who accused Osaka of disrespect at the Australian Open. Home crowd so could be tricky.

A sore looser nothing for Emma to fear here

Osaka was saying "come on" after Cirstea missed her first serve I think
