Emma Raducanu ‘definitely better’ than top ten star claims former Wimbledon champion

Emma Raducanu has made a big move to solve her injury issues by hiring renowned fitness trainer Yutaka Nakamura and now she has been given a glowing endorsement by a former Wimbledon champion.

Despite persistent injury issues in 2024, Raducanu rose over 200 places in the WTA Rankings and will end the year inside the top 60.

That is a fine effort given her lack of matches, with the second half of her season hugely impacted by her time nursing injuries.

“It’s been interesting to watch her play. She has certainly got the talent to compete at the top level,” Cash told Tennis365 in his role as an ambassador for the Bank of China Hong Kong Open 2025.

“I was at Queen’s Club the other day and some highlights popped up on the TV of her winning the US Open and it was just phenomenal to remind yourself how good she is.

“She has had some issues with her forehand from time to time and maybe the stress of it all contributed to those injuries.

“She’s had half a decent year when he was able to play matches, but we have an opportunity here a player like Emma to come through
On both the men’s and women’s side of the draws, we have one or two players right at the top who have separated themselves, but there is a gap below that and players can come through to the latter stages of tournaments.

“We saw Navarro come through this year and Emma is definitely a better player than her.

“Navarro is tough, tricky and competitive, but Raducanu has more to her game.

“You just have to hope Raducanu stays fit and can get matches under her belt because she certainly has the talent to do very well.”
