For those who have contacted me and asked, someone has made a bogus claim on my IW 2023 extras #1 video claiming a copyright on the Giorgi portion of that clip, which has no merit because I shot that practice (as did many other people). It is clearly not the claimant's video because the claimant's Giorgi video clips were shot in a lower quality and none were even in 4k 60fps. So it should've been obvious that there's no way I used any of his clips. I have challenged the bogus claim and hopefully it will be restored very quickly. Thanks for your patience. [Edited to update - video has been reinstated finally and the erroneous copyright strike removed]

Please bring more the best female practice I have seen so far!!! Wonderful

Hell of a beautiful life, you've gotto say. Just look at that scenery.

This angle makes it much easier to see just how strong she is.

So happy she is playing well!

Clay courts next for Raducanu? Hopefully, she still gets “WCs” into main draw!😊

Nice quads👍

I hope Emma's wrist injury gets better so she can play her elite level of tennis.

Hitting partners, are they part of coaching entourage? Or just locally sourced as needed?

If they're not practicing w/ other pros at the tournament (which is usually the case), I've seen both. Sometimes local high level players (for example, college players) are available as practice partners if needed. In a few cases, there are players who have dedicated practice partners as part of their team/entourage (WTA in particular, don't ever recall seeing it on ATP). Raducanu herself in the past has used a specific hitting partner like Ray Sarmiento for tournaments. Serena is another who has used a dedicated hititng partner (Jarmere Jenkins, Sascha Bajin before he became a coach).

I'd like to hear someone with recent coaching expertise comment on her forehand. I looks rather quick and snappy to me compared to the bigger flowing swings of some of the bigger hitters. I wonder if trying to accelerate from such a quick motion is putting pressure on her wrist. It also looks like she might have had to sacrifice some top-spin on the forehand side in order to gain penetration from the shorter quicker motion. Anyway. I haven't coached since the 80's so as I said I'd be interested to hear from others.

@@shroud1390 Wrist is fine? Share your expertise on why you feel - in your expert opinion - the reason Emma take her right hand off the racket, shakes her wrist/hand, then regrips after a shot - twice within the span of just 6 seconds? (O:29-0:35). I'm not an expert but I do watch about 70 matches a year sitting courtside. I've never seen a player do that before in the middle of a point. Maybe you can enlighten us on why you are confident that "her wrist is fine." I tend to agree with Grant Ferstat.

Don’t forget; she won the title without beating a single top 10 player in the entire tournament (including the finals)…if that’s not called getting lucky, I don’t know what is?

Emma lacks upper body strength. She needs to leverage her whole body to generate power. That's why she has to be quick to get into position to strike the ball. If not, her shots ended up being weak and short. She will also get tired quicker when she is forced to move around the court ( her shots get weaker and weaker). Emma said strength conditioning/training is her priority now. Note Emma did not bother going after the drop shots last match. Her lower back might be sore from upper body strength training.

@@blue-xb1cq Funny how not one commentator since May 2021 has thought it important to say that she lacks upper body strength. All tennis players, female and male, wind up for the shot by turning their body away from the ball and then whipping into it, accelerating the body, then the arm, and then the hand, to get maximum power. Show me any player who isn't 'leveraging their whole body' to get maximum power. Your comment is bizarre.

No wonder Emma is not improving she hits with a man that instead of pushing her and hitting stronger he plays weak hitting easy shots straight at Emma, trust me Iga and other top 50 will hit harder and make her run more than this dude, his job is to prepare you for real tough competition hit like a man for Gods sakes, players like Sabalenka, Rybakina, Jabeur, Azarenka will crush Emma with this dude hitting w her 😂❤
