After her BJK Cup experience, an enthused Raducanu immediately started her pre-season programme in London with a new addition to her team.<\/p>\n

Renowned trainer Yutaka Nakamura, who previously worked with Maria Sharapova and Osaka, has been enlisted<\/a> to help make her body more robust.<\/p>\n

“I needed a more tailored approach and someone dedicated to me,” said Raducanu, who travels to Brisbane this week to continue preparations before the new season starts on 30 December.<\/p>\n

“My athleticism is a big strength that I have nowhere near fulfilled. I think I can become one of the best athletes in tennis.”<\/p>\n

Coach Nick Cavaday, her childhood mentor who she reunited with at the start of 2024, will continue his role as part of a tight-knit team. <\/p>\n

Particular attention is being paid to turning her serve into a “weapon”.<\/p>\n

Lengthening her takeback, having gone to a shorter swing in the summer, has brought more rhythm, consistency and power.<\/p>\n

“Yutuka adds another dimension to the way Nick and I work – it has become integrated and connected,” Raducanu added.<\/p>\n

“We can already see things that we do in the gym transferring onto the tennis court.<\/p>\n

“We’re on a journey of exploration.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
