Emma Raducanu<\/a> admits a ‘lack of preparation’ was the reason for her Indian Wells exit in her first match since being targeted by a stalker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Raducanu has refused to blame last month’s ordeal<\/a> on her first-round defeat to Moyuka Uchijima, insisting it wasn’t on her mind on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Japan<\/a>’s world No.52 Uchijima defeated Raducanu 6-3 6-2, denying the British No.2 a second-round showdown<\/a> with American star Coco Gauff.<\/p>\n

Raducanu opened up about the stalking incident<\/a> ahead of her clash with Uchijima – but she is keen to move on and leave it in the past – after she ramped up her security team<\/a> and the man was given a restraining order<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking after her loss at Indian Wells, the 22-year-old former US Open champion said: ‘I didn’t have what happened in Dubai in my head at all today.<\/p>\n

‘If anything, [it was] a bit of a lack of preparation on the tennis court, playing someone who played pretty good in these extremely awkward conditions.<\/p>\n

‘I think it depends what sort of frame of mind you are in. I think all the players will say, if they are feeling good, it’s great. If they are not, it can be more difficult and challenging.<\/p>\n

Since the format\u2019s introduction in 2009, Emma Raducanu (42.3%, 11-15) now holds the lowest win rate among former Grand Slam winners at WTA 1000 events, below Francesca Schiavone (42.4%, 42-57).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

‘You have to just overcome whatever hurdles that come your way and just keep going forward.’<\/p>\n

World No.55 Raducanu is currently seeking a new long-term coach after her split with Nick Cavaday following the Australian Open in January.<\/p>\n

Cavaday stepped down from the role due to personal health reasons and Raducanu has since started a trial period with coach Vladimir Platenik.<\/p>\n

The Slovakian was working with Raducanu at Indian Wells and the Briton was quizzed about their partnership after her defeat to Uchijima.<\/p>\n

‘It is good that I have someone who is very experienced,’ Raducanu added. ‘We will see how the work goes, how we get on on and off the court and the methods. I am looking forward to seeing how it goes.’<\/p>\n

Speaking more generally about her early Indian Wells exit, Raducanu said: ‘It was just a very difficult match for me. I tried to be aggressive, I tried to make the ball, but I guess it didn’t work.<\/p>\n

‘I had great support around me. I was feeling pretty good. I think today was just a bit of a curveball, but I guess I am just going to move on.<\/p>\n

‘I think I just need to keep trying to put one foot in front of the other and not look back too much.<\/p>\n

‘I could improve being more aggressive and having a better quality of shot going forward into the court more. I think I could improve every area of my game, to be honest, after today’s performance.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
