World No. 60 Emma Raducanu commented on her progress at the Miami tournament. The British player has reached her first WTA 1000 quarterfinal.
“I`m currently playing better than I was in Australia. It`s very challenging, the conditions are constantly changing, but I`m especially proud that I`ve found my fighting spirit and focus on every ball. I think I`ve lacked this in the last few months and even years.”
“For me, the main victory of the week is feeling this hunger, competitive spirit, and desire to chase every ball.”
– Do you go out on the court with a winning attitude? You are much more confident than at the beginning of the year. Can you compare?
“Yes, I think so. I go out knowing that I will focus on every point, on every ball. So far, it`s working great. Honestly, I`m very happy.”
“In my opinion, I`ve started thinking less on the court, which is probably a good thing. I try to let my intuition take over because that`s when I show my best tennis. I`m not thinking – I`m just fighting for every ball, and then I let my instincts take over,” Raducanu said at a press conference.
Emma Raducanu on her match with Anisimova: “I felt something was wrong with my opponent. When she either makes mistakes or hits the lines, it`s difficult to maintain concentration.”
