Laura Robson was stunned by something which Emma Raducanu did straight after he defeat earlier today.
The pundit was speaking on Sky Sports Tennis.
So what did Raducanu do straight after her match that left Robson extremely surprised? Let’s take a closer look…
What Emma Raducanu did to surprise Laura Robson today
Well, it proved to be another defeat for Raducanu as she looks to gain some more match practice, although she did save two match points today.
After losing the first set 6-0, Raducanu regrouped to save two match points and force a tie-break in the second but ultimately lost it to Anhelina Kalinina.
Despite losing the match, Raducanu stayed humble after the game and headed straight over to Sky for an interview.
It probably speaks volumes of the talented youngster – although Robson admitted she was a little taken aback by the gesture.
She told Sky Sports: ” I am actually really shocked still that she has come straight over. In a way it is a requirement after a match, so sometimes you just want to get it done and get it over straight away. But at the same time clearly a bit emotional about how things went today.”
Raducanu needs to stay fit and form will return
What is it they say? Form is temporary, but class is permanent. Nothing can be more fitting to sum up Raducanu right now.
After winning the US Open in 2021, Raducanu has been forced to contend with a number of injury problems.
As a result, perhaps the result isn’t really the main thing here and merely getting another game under her belt at the Qatar Open will be useful.
At the Australian Open, Raducanu did manage to win one match – beating Shelby Rogers in straight sets – before losing out to Wang Yafan.
Thankfully, the 21-year-old appears to have come through this one unscathed and hopefully, she can get some more time on the practice court under her belt.
Raducanu’s fitness is paramount this season and thankfully there were no signs of any setback after this latest defeat.
