Emma Raducanu Refocuses on Tennis with New Strategy for 2025

The former US Open champion is prioritizing health, fitness, and balance as she aims to rebuild her career after years of injuries and off-court distractions.

Emma Raducanu has hired fitness coach Yutaka Nakamura, known for working with top players like Maria Sharapova and Naomi Osaka, to address recurring injury issues and improve her physical conditioning.
The 22-year-old is cutting back on sponsorship commitments and off-court obligations, citing a need to prioritize her tennis and maintain energy for competition.
Raducanu credits a reflective period during an injury layoff in September, including time spent with her grandmother in China, as a turning point in reevaluating her career and goals.
She plans to play a more consistent tournament schedule in 2025, aiming to build resilience and maintain health after a season disrupted by injuries and limited match play.
Raducanu, who rose to fame with her 2021 US Open victory, now emphasizes enjoying the process of improvement rather than focusing solely on results like winning another Grand Slam.
