Emma Raducano is considered one of the most promising tennis players of the younger generation. The 19-year-old British woman stunned the entire world last year when she won the US Open Grand Slam. Her career is promised, but the young star has been disappointing lately. At the end of March, she was eliminated in the second round of the Miami Open with much lower Czech Karolina Siniakova, losing 6:3, 4:6, 5:7. It’s a killer streak maintenance. Since winning the US Open, the 19-year-old has participated in eight tournaments. She managed to win only four matches in total, and only once won the second round.
Emma Raducano’s sudden problem. After training…she lost her nails
Raducanu has already begun training for the upcoming dirt court meetings. And, as it turned out, this caused a lot of problems for the British. Days of slipping while training left the 19-year-old… losing her toenails. “We were all a little scared to see Emma’s toes this week,” said Anne Keothavong, captain of Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup, where the UK face the Czechs.
Raducanu has had to spend a lot of time training on clay because, she admitted, she hasn’t had a chance yet to play a single game on this surface in her career. – I definitely learn all the time. I feel like this might be one of my strongest surfaces in the future. But this is just the beginning – she said before the match with the Czechs, quoted by “The Sun”.
– I spent a few weeks on a summer meal. I love gliding and when I spend more time on it I’m sure it can be a really good surface for me. I feel like I’ll be able to play hard, while still moving right – the Briton added.
