Post-Miami, Raducanu decided it would be more beneficial to skip Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup tie and do a short training block in the United States instead. <\/p>\n
The 2021 US Open champion spent the time in Los Angeles, where she worked with Petchey for 10 days before heading back to Europe.<\/p>\n
Raducanu, who has known Petchey since she was a teenager, says she is enjoying the “thought-provoking” nature of their conversations.<\/p>\n
Creating a relaxed atmosphere around her – which she said helped her “express” herself in Miami and be more “authentic” – is another hallmark of the partnership.<\/p>\n
Raducanu has also found greater equilibrium off the court. In LA, she enjoyed hiking trips in the mountains, while she found a yoga class in Madrid after training.<\/p>\n
“I’m happy with [the training block] and how I’m feeling on the court right now. I think I did some great work on my game and I’m looking forward to testing it on a match court,” said Raducanu, who is 49th in the world after her Miami run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
