Agassi's Slump Advice for Raducanu
23 Sep
Summary
- Agassi advises Raducanu to focus on daily self-improvement.
- Raducanu seeks inspiration from Agassi's career struggles.
- Agassi's book also inspired Naomi Osaka previously.
Andre Agassi, an eight-times Grand Slam winner, has advised former U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu to detach her self-worth from immediate results.
Agassi, who endured a four-year performance slump and a significant ranking drop between 1995 and 1999, shared his insights from his 2009 autobiography. He encouraged Raducanu to "be comfortable with yourself" and focus on personal bests each day, regardless of external judgments.
Raducanu, who has struggled to replicate her 2021 U.S. Open triumph in majors since, has reportedly found inspiration in Agassi's personal battle with form.
This echoes Naomi Osaka's experience, as the four-time Grand Slam champion also drew motivation from Agassi's book last year, reaching the U.S. Open semi-finals.
