Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has publicly supported British player Emma Raducanu following her impressive performance at the Miami Open. Raducanu, 22, reached the quarter-finals, marking her best run since winning the US Open in 2021. She secured significant victories, including her first top-ten win not on grass, and is on the verge of reclaiming the British No.1 ranking.
Kyrgios, known for his candid opinions, praised Raducanu’s achievements and subtly addressed the emphasis placed on having a coach in professional tennis. He commented on the undue criticism faced by young players like Raducanu, highlighting her potential and past Grand Slam success.
This support comes amid Raducanu’s recent coaching changes and personal challenges. Her resilience and performance have silenced some of her critics, with Kyrgios pointing out the quieting of doubters in light of her success.
