I don t think she should be looking for a different way right now - Mark Petchey on Emma Raducanu Raducanu during a press conference at the Western & Southern Open - Day 2 In a recent interview with Tennis Channel, Mark Petchey, a former British tennis pro and former coach of Emma Raducanu, advised the Brit to avoid changing her playing style in her match-up with Serena Williams. "Emma's way of winning a Grand Slam was one way and I don't think she should be looking for a different way right now," Petchey said. As per Petchey, Williams was excellent in her match against Belinda Bencic in Canada even if she ultimately lost. He continued by saying that the American will be a very challenging player to beat if she is given more time on the ball. "I thought that Serena played great against [Belinda] Bencic, it was just a bad match-up," Petchey said, adding, "But at the end of the day I think if she gets time on the ball, she's going to be a very difficult player to dislodge from the draw."
