"If your whole team are older guys, you miss out on the social side": Raducanu missing out on aspects of being 20 according to Andy Murray's mum Judy

Judy Murray, the mother of Andy Murray, suggested that Emma Raducanu might be missing out on the social aspect of her life due to various circumstances in her life.

Raducanu is a fairly young tennis player and while tennis is her priority there are other things to life. Andy Murray's mother Judy suggested that the social side of her life might be suffering due to her incredibly busy schedule as well as having a team full of older men. Even so, Murray highlighted that doesn't mean that she needs to hire a female coach:

"Not necessarily. I think she is a great young athlete, very smarthead. She loves tennis, she reads the game well. I think when you are young, the schedule might be pretty tough. It’s about ten and a half months of the year traveling. At the age of 20, if your whole team are guys and usually pretty much older guys, I think you miss out on the social side, where most of your friends are probably students, they are learning and partying."

She also touched upon her relationship with her media explaining that she should be left in peace:

"She is a great prospect and I think now that she is kind of sitting around the 80 in the world I think that’s a good place to be at her age. Hopefully, the spotlight is off her a little bit and she can develop in more peace and quiet, although the media may have another ideas."
