Overview
- Andre Agassi told the BBC on Wednesday that Emma Raducanu should measure effort by daily progress rather than results and should be comfortable with her identity.
- Raducanu told Uniqlo that Agassi’s 2009 autobiography Open inspired her comeback thinking by detailing how he rebuilt his game after a career slump.
- The 23-year-old has not played since June because she is recovering from a stress fracture in her lower right leg and missed the US Open while managing earlier illness and foot problems.
- Raducanu has withdrawn from the China Open and has not confirmed any further appearances for the rest of the 2026 season, and a reported Wuhan Open return date remains unconfirmed in available coverage.
- Agassi is in London as captain of Team World at the Laver Cup, and his own recovery from a late-1990s slump and ranking fall underpins the practical, percentage-based advice he offered.
