Emma Raducanu praised by Mats Wilander for staying in New York and practicing

Emma Raducanu did not leave New York immediately after losing but rather stuck around to practice some more with Tursunov.

Emma Raducanu said she would welcome an early exit from the US Open as it would allow her to start again and it happened. The Brit is excited about what might come next and it seems like she's already working on it. Opting to stay in New York and practice with Tursunov garnered some praise with Mats Wilander explaining why it's great:

“I can believe [she’s still practising] because she just started working with Dmitry Tursunov, who I think is a great coach, who helped Aryna Sabalenka a lot, even though they’re not together anymore. So, yeah I like it. We have to remember Raducanu is in her second year of being on tour. Even though she won the US Open, she hasn’t really been on tour so I think it’s great."

Wilander was happy to see her stay but joked around that it might be because of the weather and not just to practice:

“Maybe she doesn’t want to go back to Britain because it might be raining over there and here we have beautiful, beautiful weather."
