Emma Raducanu has finally opened up about the secret behind her much-anticipated tennis comeback — and her revelation has sparked a wave of mixed reactions among fans and analysts alike.
In an exclusive interview with *The Times*, the 2021 US Open champion revealed that her return to form is largely thanks to an unconventional training method: performance-based meditation combined with AI-assisted match simulations. The approach, guided by a team of holistic coaches and tech consultants, blends mental conditioning with virtual training to help Raducanu anticipate opponent strategies and manage on-court pressure.
“This comeback isn’t just about hitting harder or running faster,” Raducanu explained. “It’s about mastering focus, staying calm under pressure, and training my mind as intensely as my body.”
The strategy appears to be working — Raducanu recently reached the semifinals in back-to-back WTA events, showing glimpses of the form that shocked the tennis world in 2021.
However, her methods have stirred debate. Supporters hail her innovation and willingness to embrace new techniques. “She’s changing the game. This is the future of sport,” tweeted one fan.
Others, however, remain skeptical. “She needs more match play, not meditation apps,” one critic wrote. “This feels like a distraction.”
Despite the controversy, Raducanu seems unfazed. “I’m not here to convince anyone. I’m here to win,” she said confidently.
With Wimbledon fast approaching, all eyes are on Raducanu to see if this unorthodox comeback strategy will truly pay off — or simply fuel the ongoing debate around her evolving legacy.
