The Australian left with everything after Daniela Hantuchova claimed the 19-year-old Briton and current US Open champion was losing respect on the tour. Statements that come at a time when the player herself had to respond to the negative comments she receives on the networks.

Words that reached the ears of Nick Kyrgios, who did not hesitate to come out and defend the Briton who is just going through her first year on the professional circuit.
“I think this defeat can hurt her a lot, especially because of the number of chances she had during the match, where she was the best practically most of the time. The thing is that now all the girls want to beat Emma so everyone is trying to figure out how to play against her All the respect he earned in the locker room after winning the US Open is disappearing he’s losing it which is a pity.” was the comment made by the former world number five on the screens of Amazon Prime.
A reflection that is part of the difficult present that Emma is going through, who since her coronation in New York six months ago, He added just four wins on the tour. An unfair comment for Kyrgios, who is also competing in the Miami Masters 1000.

I love Andy Roddick and I agree with him that we all need to relax a little on the racquets and all that, but I read an article about a player from the past talking about Raducanu who, without offend you, I think she already has a lot a much bigger name than she had” He launched.
The situation comes just a day after the player herself had to come to terms with her feelings with the constant criticism she has received lately. “Maybe they only see me in the news or on social media signing this or that contract. six hours of training a day.
