Bollettieri stated that Raducanu reminds her of 20-time Grand Slam champion, Roger Federer, who also has an amazing footwork. He also claimed that it is the reason why Federer enjoyed so much success on the ATP Tour. However, he said that in order to watch the Swiss Maestro’s footwork, one needs a slo-mo as he is very quick.
“Roger Federer has sublime talent and shots but the bedrock is in the footwork. Watch it, but you’ll need slo-mo,” added the former coach.
