. But when Raducanu started dealing with injuries and losing matches, she quickly became one of the most criticized players in women’s tennis.

Gauff gives advice to Raducanu
“I think it all comes down to the support system and how you handle things week in and week out.
And for me, you hear a lot of things, so I think the best thing to do is to disconnect from it all and focus on yourself and not on what other people are saying. And yes, I completely understand what Emma is going through.
A lot of people say a lot of things in the media, but don’t come to you directly to tell you. Not just the fans, but also the people commenting on the matches. So I fully understand his point of view,” Gauff said, via Express-Sport.
If Gauff was understanding, other tennis stars were not like Corentin Moutet who openly mocked the depressing situation of the young Briton.

“I’m resilient, my tolerance is high, but it’s not easy. Sometimes I think to myself that I wish I had never won the US Open, I wish that hadn’t happened. Then I say to myself: “remember the feeling that you felt when you won the tournament, it was pure happiness“.
Currently, Raducanu is on the sidelines after undergoing several surgeries in May. Raducanu is currently undergoing rehabilitation and it is not yet known when she will return to tennis.
