Emma Raducanu teaches tennis lesson from 4,000 miles away<\/h3>\n

Serena Williams’ former coach\u00a0Rick Macci believes Emma Raducanu has what it takes to claw her way back into the WTA top 10 by 2025. The 21-year-old reached No 10 in the world back in July 2022 but injuries have marred her progress ever since.<\/p>\n

She remains on the road to recovery after undergoing surgery on both wrists and one of her ankles. Raducanu described them as “minor procedures” but they were serious enough to rule her out of the French Open, US Open and Wimbledon this year.<\/p>\n

The former US Open champion was hoping to be back in action at the Australian Open next month, however, she failed to make the cut-off for the main draw. Raducanu put her name forward for the tournament using her protected ranking of No 103 rather than her current No 296 placing but that wasn’t high enough to get her through.<\/p>\n

It is now unlikely she will be able to get into the main draw for the Melbourne major unless several players withdraw, she receives a wildcard, or she wins three rounds of qualifying.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But with the new season drawing near, there is still plenty more tennis to come and\u00a0Macci is confident Raducanu will return to her former glory over the next couple of campaigns.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t lose the talent or the skill: you lose the desire. With Emma, the only thing that\u2019s a little concerning [is] when I hear she says, \u2018I wish I wouldn\u2019t have won the US Open, because everything changed.\u2019 That\u2019s brutal,\u201d he said to Tennis Infinity.<\/p>\n
