just needed to fire that coach 💪

@@omarmonoruiz Well, since she's young and still learning, having a coach would be ideal. She just needs to find the right one that works for her.

Nice to have people like you in comments Hannah.....it helps to balance out the strange ones ! 🐹

Her number one talent is getting easy draws. Go rat!

@@vls3771 haha nailed it bro.... too many salty leyla fans here lol

getting rid of a crap coach at its finest 😅

@@omarmonoruiz I agree beltz is overrated way to defensive for Raducanus style

@@footy2362 i just think its insane how much of a difference it made for her. She had horrible games for like half a year. After winning the freaking us open. Made no sense. I get it now though 😅

Difference is few months ago, there was no war in Ukraine. Ya’ll don’t know what’s going on in her training/mind right now. Better not use the word revenge.

@@gertj363 , hope people knew what was going on with Emma two months .

The haters are just not here coz they don’t have anything hateful to say.

Agree, i think there's jealousy over her who comes out of nowhere and wins US Open and becomes millionaire thanks to her sponsors. She doesn't harms to anyone, let her live her life. PS: i'm not simp and fan 🙃

@@misterr.d.v9454 Yep and bitter rival fans trying to put her down.

Well I don’t think Emma has a real rival on tour yet. It’s just toxic people who have achieved nothing in life trying to bring everyone they see down to their level, no matter who that is. They are not real tennis fans.

@@user-ri3is5jr7y Not a rivalry proper on court yet but players who are similar age like Swiatek, Fernandez and Gauff. Pretty sure some fans of Swiatek and Fernandez have been bitter towards Emma.

She is better now than she was at the USO, more variety, tighter defense and better tactical play in her game and also her shot quality is improved.

It's because she doesn't care, which is exactly how she went into the US open. She has never played professionally on clay before, and it's a very different surface to hard, so there are no expectations. With no expectations she enjoys her tennis more, relaxes and expresses herself on-court. Wouldn't be surprised if she wins this.

@ferzy09 Kostyuk is a really good young player, who has often got the better of Emma in the past. Emma thrashed her today. The highlights don't do it justice.

@ferzy09 For a novice player like Emma, seeded or unseeded opponent does not matter. Experience she lacks it as compared to most of the girls in WTA so to win a match or two matters a lot to a teenager who is still learning a lot from the tour.

@@znmo0nlight fgvgvbbb

Seems like she might be on the road to the top 3, or better. Shes playing extremely well.... couldnt be any happier than that. If she get third round done, then I might dare but she might have huge chance for the big win.....

I've been saying this all along. She just needs matches to get into the swing of things. People forget that 3 of the 4 three setters which she lost she was serving for & within points of winning. You get that from experience. Maybe those loses will help her since there'd have been lessons to learn from each loss and we know she's a quick learner.

LOL

Well said !

Tom Campbell should get together with leee Soo Hyun they are a perfect match Soo Hyuns plastic surgery didn't work out so she's upset .....

She will win! No doubt. Emma is champion material

I think Halep is the favourite overall now but let’s see. Rybakina will be a stern test should Emma get to the quarterfinals.

Great comments, could not agree more

Well said

@@turnerturnerturner Stop sprouting bullshit and hating on Ukraine and Marta Kosyuk. You simply are sore, because Marta Kostyuk and Emma Raducanu both are much more successful, richer and more famous than you. Go cry in the corner. Go cry me a river. Emma Raducanu simply was prepared for Marta Kostyuk's game. She simply outplayed her.

Marta must have lots of other think in mind right now. Don't forget that.

@@laurent9752 Stop whining, you delusional loser. Marta Kosyuk lost, because Emma Raducanu was prepared for her game. And stop making things up, you idiot. KZfaq isn't the place for stupid haters like you.

it is so MOORISH when you see emma play like this.

She lost LOL

HAAHAHAH way too early, she still is not able to win any top 10 player, neither shw won anytime xd That only shows how bad last US Open was, so no idea how you came up with text "future French Open champion" there are plenty of better players

5 matches on clay and you are already calling her a RG champion 😂, that’s how false expectations are created, she played good but Kostyuk is not in a good place mentally and played poorly, and for you that’s a devastating display of tennis… ok hold your horses

@@dandresaldi OK,let's wait and see shall we? Kostyuk played badly because she wasn't allowed to play her normal game by Emma. Did you not watch the whole match then? I did and it was definitely the form that saw her clinched the US Open title.

@@eyeofthetiger6002 must be an Englishman

@@eyeofthetiger6002 she played good, I’m not saying she’s didn’t, but I don’t think Kostyuk can be focused completely in matches because of the situation. Emma is still looking for her first top 10 win while for example Andreescu already had the first of the year and in 2019 she defeated top 10s many times. I love Emma but I won’t go that crazy for her because she defeated Kostyuk comfortably. Kalinina should be a much better test

She has added more variety to her game. Is definitely learning. Has been thrown to the lions on the WTA tour and is now starting to improve and hopefully retain her form.

that all makes perfect SENSE.

Yeah - I think you're right.

I think he was into lots of strength work but Emma just has to play tennis that's maybe why she was getting injured so glad she got rid of him

Hope she counties to play well

@@Ridwan_Ali2 This could be the turning point. If she plays at this level consistently she will soon win a tournament.

@@trommelbiel Yes for sure love to see thar

@ferzy09 congrats on her being a magnificent US Open champion

@ferzy09 Raducanu is playing her first full year on tour, and the two tournaments she has gone beyond the second round. She also went beyond the first round at the AO. This is as well as reaching Wimbledon 4th round and winning the US Open at just 18

the thing is with clay it is not a surface that emma has played much on and it could become a great surface for her i feel with even more experience....i think she is going to be a force on all surfaces and looking forward to see her play on grass again.

Still a flop player that any good clay courter will destroy in two sets with a breadstick

I KNOW SHE LIKES TOTTENHAM BUT I AM FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES FOR HER.

@@turnerturnerturner Says a flop internet troll who's only likely physical activity is stuffing their face with breadsticks.

Sometimes the opposition don't allow playing good!

Emma is playing much better without her cap!! (Serve especially). . .

Marta is Ukrainian. Who knows what’s going on with her team, her mind, etc due to the war. You all should be gentle with your comments.

What comment yes

Lol Jesus Christ. Here we go again.

@@MarcoSpeaksNadsat Ikr lol

People writing off a 19 year old a matter of months after winning her first slam (and only months before that playing her first ever WTA level match) were always ridiculous and reactionary. They probably don't even watch tennis that much.

she is a one grand slam wonder and she will lose in the next round guaranteed with an excuse that she is injured. She should quit tennis and do modelling instead because that all she is good for.

@@user-gu1un7pb7k no it’s the opposite lol, she’s won 2 matches at madrid against unseeded opponents. Wow that’s amazing she’s going to be the goat

She was never that far off with her speed and power in most of her matches this year, but mentally, after winning 11 of the last 12 games in her previous match, and with the memory of the pasting Marta gave her 6 months ago, she certainly looked much sharper. The girls are close in age, but Marta has usually been the better player when they played in the past, so Emma chose to be aggressive from the start. Without a coach she was totally responsible for this strategy. Much has been said about Emma's frequent changes of coach, but her father has always decided who would coach Emma, and he has a rather ruthless opinion of coaches. He hires them, drains them of all their knowledge, and then looks for another. This week she coach free, but she still has her physio to keep her fit (and to hold her phone 🙂) and she has others to support her. During tournaments 'she' doesn't need a coach! She has a great analytical mind, she just needed the experience of playing week in week out at WTA level. The foot blisters and the hand blisters are signs that she's been working really hard in training, and she's had some really long matches. Plus a bout of Covid didn't help. But now she's both physically and mentally tougher. I think the longer she progresses at Madrid, the better she'll get. At Wimbledon she played freely. But she was only there by virtue of her being a promising British player. Sure that's why wild cards are granted. But she and her team knew she'd have to qualify for the US Open, so they planned how she might qualify. Get her to the States weeks before both to gain experience and acclimatise, and then see what happened. What happened surprised everyone, including Emma. Her expectations changed during the Championship. She'd qualified, she'd 'earned' the right to compete. So she competed, and she won. I think she handled what followed as best as anyone could have. I just don't understand her critics. It's near obligatory that the winner of the US Open attends the Met Gala, but who 'chooses' to visit the US Stock Exchange? Emma did, and she had fun 🙂 She seems to being enjoying her experience on clay, but never doubt that her ultimate goal is to win Wimbledon. No championship would mean more to her.

THE SUN IS SHINING FOR EMMA ONCE AGAIN STEPHEN.

Sorry, "bête noire". i should know better....

I agree with all you wrote. I feel once a tournament starts, her physio becomes far more important than her coach. During Wimbledon and the US Open it was her physio, not her coach, that she handed her mobile to. Maybe Beltz is the kind of coach wants to give advice during tournaments, maybe?

I'm pretty sure Torben was pushing Emma to play more defensively and use a kick serve, which she didn't like and was leading to her poorer results. She just seems more relaxed and comfortable now.

I believe it's very important to click mentally with your coach , to like them and feel relaxed in their company .

@@davidkeenan5642 didn't Emma have her coach her USO Thropy photo taken with him.It's him who Emma went to first to hug him after she won.

Her 2nd serve is really good too, doesn’t have a big dip in speed from 1st to 2nd.

Against Sorribes Tormo she was amazing there though, So much controlled aggression and precision, ST couldn’t do anything. Kostyuk on her day is probably better though than ST and Emma dominated.

she played like as free as a BYRD.

Mildly, but she always has. Depends on the acoustics of the venue on how loud it seems.

Yes. It's kinda "I'm dying, suffocating" grunt.

I'm still wondering about the toenails . “I have no toenails,” said Raducanu, laughing, after the draw ceremony. “Just my foot, my shoes, they’ve just been sliding around a lot.” Surely there must be some pain , otherwise what are the purpose of toenails .

Wow good catch, isn’t that over 10mph faster than her usual ‘fastest’ serve?

@@ReTracer She hit 179khm/111mph 2 points before that one as well. I think 177khm/110mph has been her biggest so far in her career.

ONE THING FOR SURE I DOUBT THAT EMMA WILL EVER END UP ON THE DOLE.

@@garyhorton705 We'll see....

GREAT, which court is she playing at tomorrow.

@@andilencube7217 I think on court 2! Arantcha Sanchez arena!!

@@saulmadrileno8529 Manolo Santana stadium it looks like she’s playing on for the first time.

More like a mouse to a mousetrap. Simona incoming.

Great match but world number 1 no… not yet I think the courts here play a bit loopy her use of the high ball been great. Thinks about whichever player adapts best some lopsided scores. My money is on Halep for this Title.

you got all that from these highlights, slanted very much towards her opponent?

Graf, Navratilova, Williams sisters, Seles, Henin...might beg to differ.

You guys are blowing this match wayyyy out of proportion, its the second round…

i guess you haven’t watched swiatek

Yes! Towards the end she completely broke Kostyuk physically, mentally emotionally! Total domination! Look at the sheer power of Emma's shots! If you see Emma's strength training it is just scary!!

Said exactly the same watching them

Ikr, it was mostly about Kostyuk earning a point, but then the next scene would show Emma having a higher score😂

Don’t forget she also plays well on grass and on the fast hard courts like the US Open. Looks like she’ll be a factor on all surfaces going forward.

@@kenzone totally agree and i am so impressed how well she is playing on clay having really so little experience on the surface.

She hit a 121mph serve too at 1:26.

she has the best smile of anyone i have seen in sport.....

Big hitting from Emma and work rate, Kostyuk didn’t seem to want to go into rallies with Emma and her big shots weren’t coming off.

Yeah yeah let's just pretend that iga Swiatek isn't having the best season of her life And didn't literally win 4 masters in a row

Who said anything about Swiatek? Weird comment.

If Emma can win the French Open and Wimbledon next, she'll be the world #1 and the world is at her feet! :)

DESERVES A FROZEN YOGURT AFTER THAT PERFORMANCE OR AN ICE CREAM.

The drop shots were fine but if she came to the net she could’ve replied to the counter drop shots. She can tune that.

SO WOULD I TIN TIN THAT WOULD BE GOLD GOLD...........

shes a top 5 contender for RG in this form.

Yes! Towards the end she completely broke Kostyuk physically, mentally emotionally! Total domination! Look at the sheer power of Emma's shots! If you see Emma's strength training it is just scary!!

Agree more winners from the loser total editing joke

Tennis highlights are always trash, they just show good rallies with no thought to context or significance of points.

She loves it

Unfortunately people are taking it away from her because the clay conditions aren’t up to scratch 🤭 but haters are gonna hate

eric you are not WRONG.

i hope you are not WONG......
