Emma Raducanu must become more robust, says Great Britain's Billie Jean King Cup captain Anne Keothavong
Emma Raducanu «must become more robust» if she is to thrive at the top of the women's game, believes Great Britain's Billie Jean King Cup captain Anne Keothavong. As a result of a foot blister, Raducanu's movement was severely compromised during her heavy 6-1, 6-1 singles rubber defeat to Marketa Vondrousova on Saturday, a result that contributed to GB's 3-2 loss to the Czech Republic in Prague that saw them fail to qualify for the event's finals in November. Ad/> That injury followed other problems to afflict the 19-year-old during the past year, which have included a hand blister at January's Australian Open and a back complaint at Indian Wells.
