"She faces a steep learning curve" says Judy Murray on Emma Raducanu

The most polarizing player in British tennis currently is Emma Raducanu as many wonder how the young grand slam champion will handle her first full professional season in 2022. The Brit admitted that she has a lot to learn and that it will be a learning experience. Judy Murray tends to agree saying:

"The next 10 months will be completely different to anything she has experienced in her fledgling albeit incredibly exciting career. It will be a steep learning curve on the women's circuit as she adjusts from the relative anonymity of an A-Level schoolgirl to the dog-eat-dog world of week in, week out tour tennis."

Raducanu herself has no big expectations in terms of results and she is ready to learn on the fly. Commenting further on Raducanu, Murray said:

“Everybody on the circuit now knows who she is. Coaches and competitors will be doing their homework and as a Grand Slam champion and top-20 player, she will be a massive scalp. Going from being the hunter - and playing without pressure - to the hunted where you are a target - requires a very different mindset. Add to that the expectation and demands of fans, media, sponsors, and agents, and you can see how her life has changed out of sight since winning the US Open."
