"There is still room for improvement": Emma Raducanu eyes improvement in service for next season

Britain’s Emma Raducanu believes that there is a lot of room to improve her service. The 21-year-old was once regarded as one of the most promising player playing in women’s tennis in the singles category, especially when she lifted the US Open title at the age of 18 back in 2021.

The most impressive aspect of that win was the fact that Raducanu started the campaign through the qualifying round but still managed to go all the way and secure the title after beating Canada’s Leylah Fernandez in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-3. Since then, not much has gone right for Raducanu as she has consistently struggled with fitness concerns. Raducanu returned to the court earlier this year after spending nearly 12 months on the sidelines but has struggled to produce positive results consistently. The Toronto-born star is currently in Malaga to represent her country in the Billie Jean King Cup. The team-based women’s competition is underway in Spain where some of the best players in the world are showcasing their talent.

Raducanu has recently been quoted in a report by the English media outlet Daily Express, where she talked about her season. The one-time Grand Slam winner stated that she is happy with her overall season but believes that her service has a lot of room for improvement next year.

“Physically I felt quite good especially as I haven’t played a match for so long,” she said. “It was a good test for me and I am very happy with the way I held my nerve. I have obviously been working a little bit in practice on my serve and it was very good in patches but there is still room for improvement. I am looking forward to just seeing the areas I can take from this match and work on in my pre-season and be ready for next year.”
