I\u2019ve met her a couple of times in my entire life. I certainly wish her the best.\u00a0Anyone that\u2019s won a Slam, you want to see them continue to compete at a high level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt boils down to sort of getting, to me, the right situation around you so that you can be eager to get yourself as healthy and fit as possible, so that you can then go compete at the level you want to consistently. That\u2019s the key. I don\u2019t know where she\u2019s at there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former world No 1 Jim Courier \u2014 another TNT Sports analyst \u2014 has also discussed Raducanu\u2019s encouraging recent results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a rebuilding year for her, she\u2019s been working on rebuilding her body, now she\u2019s working on rebuilding her confidence,\u201d the four-time major winner said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd some of that comes down to also once you get that confidence you get a little bit more aura and you bring some swagger back to the court and that affects how your opponents view playing you as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, this is going to be a very interesting rest of the year for her. I wish her the best. I hear she\u2019s a wonderful person.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Watch every moment of the French Open live and exclusive on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discoveryplus.com\/gb\/sport\/tennis\/roland-garros\" target=\"_blank\">discovery+<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/french-open\/what-emma-raducanu-had-to-say-after-iga-swiatek-defeat\">Emma Raducanu makes \u2018uncomfortable\u2019 admission, but determined to \u2018keep going\u2019<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/john-mcenroe-emma-raducanu-ongoing-issue-french-open\">John McEnroe reveals \u2018the key\u2019 for Emma Raducanu as he offers Brit advice<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/\">Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John\u00a0McEnroe has called on Emma Raducanu to\u00a0solve an \u201congoing issue\u201d that he believes is holding\u00a0the Brit back from\u00a0consistently competing at a high level.
