“The best thing I could say, and I’m sure she’s probably heard it, is to set time aside from the phone. Because it is exciting when you get all the retweets, all the follows and all of that, but it can be a bit overwhelming. At least in my experience. That’s probably what I wish I would’ve known, not to focus on social media”, continued the American.
Gauff mentioned how she limits the usage of several apps on her phone when she is training. “I put a time limit on my phone because I thought I was spending too much time on it. From 8.30 a.m. to 9.30 p.m., I have limited access to apps”, concluded the American.
Especially over the last few weeks, the entire attention is on Raducanu and the tournaments she is likely to play going forward. When she accepted the wild card from Indian Wells organizers, the buzz for the women’s draw skyrocketed and a lot of fans will be thronging the stadiums to watch the Brit play.
