"It's about doing it consistently" says Greg Rusedski on the sudden rise of Emma Raducanu

Emma Raducanu became a household name in tennis after reaching the 4th round of Wimbledon in her first try.

Since then Raducanu backed up that run with several notable results in lesser events. That is something that former British number one Greg Rusedski noted as a good sign as he explained:

"There were question marks about her dealing with the stress and strain of being in the fourth round and I think that argument has been put to bed. The nice thing is she's gone to the lesser events and started to perform so it's having that breakthrough moment, but what are you going to do afterwards because that's the hardest part."

Rusedski noted that reaching her first WTA level final at WTA 125K event in Chicago earlier was a good thing but consistency is key. He said:

"It's great to see her in the final of a 125 WTA and she needs to play in those events which are lesser and then start winning those and gradually build up to the main tour. It's not all about Wimbledon, it's not all about grass court seasons, it's about whether she can do the other 11 months of the year and that defines whether you become a great champion and hit the expectations in your game."
