He agreed to kind of help me until the end of Wimbledon and then we kind of see from there because he gave up some work to work with me here, which I really appreciate and I\u2019m grateful for,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a conversation that we need to have after a few days and the dust settles a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The huge improvements made on Raducanu\u2019s serve since Petchey came into her set-up were in evidence against Sabalenka, as she maintained a high level of play throughout against the best player in women\u2019s tennis.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the technical improvements, Petchey has also brought an element of fun and joy back into the Raducanu camp and that has allowed her to clear her mind and play her best tennis once again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot predict anything, but I definitely sure that, maybe not in a month, but maybe a bit longer period, but she definitely going to get back in top,\u201d said Sabalenka as she spoke about Raducanu in her Wimbledon press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s fighting. She\u2019s playing much better. She\u2019s more consistent. I can see that mentally she\u2019s healthy. I think that\u2019s really important. Yeah, I\u2019m pretty sure she\u2019s getting there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raducanu has to take so much confidence from her display against Sabalenka, as recent clashes against the best players in the game have been one-sided defeats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt does give me confidence because I think the problem before was that I felt like I was gulfs away from the very top,\u201d said Raducanu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving a match like that where I had chances in both sets, it does give me confidence. At the same time, it\u2019s very difficult to take right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt gives me confidence that I\u2019m not as far away as I perhaps thought before the tournament. I think before previously when I was playing those top-5 players, it was pretty convincing, the loss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo really push Aryna to the top, it gives me confidence. But at the same time, like, I feel like grass for me is a great surface. It\u2019s a bit of a leveller in that sense. So I think taking it onto a different surface, where it\u2019s a lot more lively in America, is another challenge in itself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPositives were that I was toe to toe with her. Before the match, I actually went into this match feeling more confident than in previous matches against the top, but I think there is a big difference in the first serve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019s something that I need to improve on. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m, like, always quite critical, so I probably will just, like, right now come off and tell you all the things that I could do better. I think the good things,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI took my chances when it was there. I didn\u2019t execute all the time, but I think I returned really well considering she\u2019s got one of the best serves in the game. But yeah, I need to work on my own serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/wimbledon\/emma-raducanu-wimbledon-problem-reaction-aryna-sabalenka-defeat\">Emma Raducanu slams big Wimbledon problem as she reacts to Aryna Sabalenka defeat<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/wimbledon\/emma-raducanunew-coach-wimbledon-defeat\">Emma Raducanu reveals she may be looking for a new coach again after Wimbledon heroics<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/\">Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emma Raducanu has revealed her brief partnership with coach Mark Petchey may now be over after her battling performance against world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
