Emma Raducanu is currently in the midst of her latest spell on the sidelines, with the stress fracture of her foot that ruled her out of Wimbledon also threatening her hopes of playing at next month\u2019s US Open.<\/p>\n
The British No 1 has already confirmed she has pulled out of the WTA 1000 tournaments in Canada and Cincinnati next month, with her withdrawal from those two events set to have a negative impact on her ranking.<\/p>\n
If she also misses the US Open, Raducanu could drop outside the top 50 of the WTA Rankings and she may then be relying on wildcards to get into main draws at top tier events.<\/p>\n
They may no longer be forthcoming as this year\u2019s US Open will mark the fifth anniversary of Raducanu\u2019s<\/a> famous win in New York, as she came through qualifying to win the title and instantly became a global superstar.<\/p>\n While her status as a Grand Slam champion could earn her some wildcard opportunities and her association with the IMG management group will also help, Raducanu may be faced with the prospect of going through qualifying to get into some events.<\/p>\n Emma Raducanu faces ranking nightmare after withdrawing from two upcoming events<\/a><\/p>\n Emma Raducanu schedule: What is the injury that could keep her out for extended period<\/a><\/p>\n Now former British No 1 Greg Rusedski has suggested Raducanu may need to change her lifestyle to ensure her entire focus is on tennis for as long as she decides to continue to play the game.<\/p>\n Raducanu confirmed she can play at a high level when she reached the final of the WTA 500 event at the Queen\u2019s Club in London in June, but the stress fracture in her foot was a result of what she said was \u2018too much load\u2019 on her body in that tournament.<\/p>\n Speaking on his podcast<\/a>, Rusedski was trying to be positive about Raducanu\u2019s latest injury, but he admitted the stop-start nature of her career is not a recipe for long-term success.<\/p>\n \u201cI think you have to be in the team to really know what the issue is,\u201d began Rusedski.<\/p>\n \u201cIt depends on how you\u2019re training, how you\u2019re loading, what\u2019s happening. I don\u2019t have enough information, but all I know is we have a lot of talented players in Britain and we need to find a way to keep them healthy.<\/p>\n \u201cAlso, consistency of team helps, consistency of training. You can\u2019t take long periods of time off. Even when you\u2019re on holiday, you still need to hit balls. You still need to go to the gym. You need to keep it going because stop starting.<\/p>\n \u201cI remember when Roger Federer was at the peak of his powers and he was still hitting tennis balls when he went on holiday with his family. That\u2019s what you need to do.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a recreational player now, but if I stop for a few weeks and then I got a seniors event or something, I\u2019m sore. I\u2019m stiff. I don\u2019t bounce back as quickly. So it\u2019s easier for me if I\u2019m just training consistently.<\/p>\n \u201cYou need the same approach as the pros. And you have to get that sort of impact and volume. And for Emma at Queens, the problem was she\u2019s played so many back-to-back matches.<\/p>\n \u201cSo she wasn\u2019t trained for her body to be able to do that. You can say it\u2019s bad luck, but you have to be prepared sometimes to play two matches in a day and maybe back-to-back two matches.<\/p>\n \u201cI just wish her well. I want to see her healthy. I want to see all our Brits healthy and going in the right direction. But you\u2019ve got to have a look at the sports science behind it as well because something is not right when we have this many of them injured all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Arthur Fery to \u2018cash in\u2019 like Emma Raducanu after his incredible run at Wimbledon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The post Emma Raducanu told she may need to change her lifestyle to sustain a career in tennis<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Emma Raducanu is currently in the midst of her latest spell on the sidelines, with the stress fracture of her foot that ruled her out of Wimbledon also threatening her hopes of playing at next month\u2019s US Open.
