2021 US Open Champion Emma Raducanu has attracted a lot of negative criticism in her direction after she changed over five coaches in a short span of two years. She has had a tough season on tour this year, mostly plagued by injuries.

Talking about how her logical reasoning and proactive nature are the reasons she frequently changes coaches, Emma Raducanu stated, “I ask my coaches a lot of questions. On certain occasions, they haven’t been able to keep up with the questions I’ve asked, and maybe that’s why it ended. It’s something I’ve always done. I keep provoking and asking questions to coaches and challenging their thinking as well.”

In an interview, Emma Raducanu opened up about how she is not someone who will blindly follow her coach without reasoning with them. Speaking about this, she further added,” I’m not someone that you can just tell me what do and I’ll do it; I need to understand why and then I’ll do it.” (H/T: BBC Radio 4)

Talking about how she prioritizes her brain game more than her physical game, Emma mentioned, “I think maybe I shape and frame the way I train and approach certain decisions differently, and I think it does give me an advantage because I’m not necessarily the biggest hitter, the strongest, or the strongest or run the fastest but I think I can use my brain in ways that can give me an advantage.”
