Wilander questions Raducanu's identity as a tennis player despite early win at Australian Open: "She hasn't quite found what she's doing out there"

Mats Wilander said that Emma Raducanu is still searching for an identity despite a rather comfortable win in the first round of the Australian Open.

Raducanu had no issues beating Korpatsch at the start of the Australian Open showing his ankle to be fine. The Brit moved well around the court and hit the ball as well as ever. Speaking after the match, Eurosport tennis analyst Mats Wilander praised her for the level shown proving she can win on the big stage:

"She played really well. I don't think Emma Raducanu needs to play a lot of matches because she knows how to win on the big stage. She's responding to the pressure nicely. She's a great player, she seems like a great human being."

He did add that the Brit needs to find her identity as a player:

“For me though, she hasn't quite found what she's doing out there. Is she a Novak Djokovic, am I playing more defence or offence, am I completely like Simona Halep? She's looking for an identity, which is what you have to find and it looks like she's searching, and that's a good sign."
