Krajicek also claimed that once the Brit gets going on tour, she will raise the level of her ambitions, and will dream of becoming the World No. 1 player and winning more Majors.
Krajicek also spoke about Raducanu’s performance at Wimbledon last year, where she reached the fourth round before retiring against Ajla Tomljanovic. He stressed that her performances in London proved that she belonged at the highest level and would get similar results in the future
However, Raducanu hasn’t been playing well lately, with a poor win-loss record of 4-6 since she won her first Major in New York. She recently suffered a leg injury during her first-round match against Daria Saville at the Mexican Open on Wednesday, forcing her to withdraw from the tournament.
Richard Krajicek calls Emma Raducanu’s US Open triumph “fantastic,” claims she was “totally in control and dominating”
In the same interview, Krajicek claimed that the Brit “achieved something amazing” at 2021 US Open. Although he hopes Raducanu will win more Majors, the 50-year-old highlighted that it would be great if she finishes with one Grand Slam title like him.
The former Dutch player was surprised at the way the 19-year-old was able to dominate higher-ranked opponents in New York despite being an inexperienced qualifier. Interestingly, Raducanu became the first qualifier to ever win a Major in the Open Era and she did so without dropping a set.
While Emma Raducanu has entered the draw at the Monterrey Open next week, she might skip the tournament following her leg injury.
