Emma Raducanu has been going through a very rough patch after her unbelievable yet astounding victory from last year. Chris Evert expressed her view on the rise of the British player and whether she will get through this. Raducanu has suffered a lot of criticism over her performance in the past year.

The player shot to prominence after clinching the title at the US Open 2021. The unexpected scrutiny has become a part of the player who is expected to continue her growth and win more titles.

Chris Evert on whether Emma Raducanu can excel again

Tennis legend Chris Evert praised Emma Raducanu for her performance. She liked her technique and gameplay and believes the British player will do well in the future too. Evert commended her 2021 victory but also said, “The tough thing is to carry that momentum and back it up. She hasn’t.” Moreover, she also finds the player judicious while commenting on her performance.

Evert said, “But she seems very sensible in her comments: ‘I’m still developing my game, I’m going to be patient.’ She’s saying all the right things.” She showed faith in Raducanu and stated, “If she believes them she’s going to be fine.”

When asked if Evert believed Raducanu can still win other slams, she said, “I wouldn’t call her a one-slam wonder. I like her technique–it’s very sound.” She complimented her technique and said, “I like her serve and ground strokes. She moves well.”

However, she questioned Raducanu’s zeal to clinch more titles. She said, “She’s got talent but how much does she want it? Is she chomping at the bit to win another one? Hunger is the main thing.”

How can Raducanu win more grand slam titles?

We have already noticed one common thing in all the multiple grand slam winners. Along with consistency, there is an innate drive to get one more title under his/her name. Be it Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, or Serena Williams.

They have all pushed themselves to their limits to be the best. Raducanu did extremely well in the US Open 2021 but this year, the defending champion could not perform well. She lost to Alize Cornet and could not get past the first round of the US Open.
