Anne Keothavong on Emma Raducanu’s Tournament Schedule: Quality Over Quantity

Emma Raducanu’s rise in the tennis world continues to impress, with the young star making waves despite her current ranking outside the top 200. Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup skipper Anne Keothavong believes Raducanu doesn’t need to play every week to maintain her form and confidence.

Raducanu’s recent performances in the Billie Jean King Cup and at the Stuttgart Open have shown her potential, with the 21-year-old now gearing up for more clay-court action at the Madrid Open and the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome. Despite climbing more than 80 places in the rankings, Raducanu is taking a strategic approach to her tournament schedule, choosing quality over quantity.

Keothavong praises Raducanu’s work ethic and confidence, highlighting the young player’s ability to trust her instincts and adapt tactically during matches. Raducanu’s positive mindset and inner belief in her abilities have been key factors in her recent success on the court.

Former player Naomi Broady also commends Raducanu’s current position, noting that the Grand Slam champion has no pressure on her for the rest of the year due to having no ranking points to defend. With a strong support team behind her, Raducanu is focused on managing her energy levels and staying fit and healthy to continue her upward trajectory in the tennis world.

Fans can catch all the action on Sky Sports Tennis, which offers extensive coverage of over 80 tournaments a year on the ATP and WTA Tours, including exclusive live coverage of the US Open.
