It was a strange match that saw the Redukanu Storm in the 5–0 lead in the first set in a 5–0 lead, which concluded a nervous conclusion, which looked at the set 6–4.
He then wrapped the second set to seal a large race of ranking 6–1 as he created another quarter-final at the WTA 500 level and once again strengthened his position as British No.1.
Nevertheless, a clear issue was clear to the witness, a clear issue of Tennis 365 in the stand at the Queen Club that would continue to weaken Redukanu.
While he has made a significant improvement in his service in the last few months under coach Mark petche watch, his ground shots do not have enough power to challenge the best players in power women’s tennis.
When Redukanu won the US Open about four years ago, she was able to kill her opponents from court, but her shots lack that speed and poison.
She can create good speed as she constantly attacks the second service of her opponents, but Shrimkova had more shelling in this match and the primary reason is that Redukanu sealed that a comfortable victory was seen, which was like her rival from behind the court.
Shrimkova’s frustrations were clear as she used to constantly eliminate her shots from behind the court, beating herself in the Live WTA rankings just below the Redukanu in the Live WTA rankings before the match, while handing over a lot of free points to Redukenu.
Redukanu’s coach Mark Patchi highlighted the issue, when Redukanu was blown up by IGA Swetec in the second round of the French Open, as he suggested that the balls were affecting his striking power.
“From my point of view, it is difficult on Emma because I still think everyone is living in 2021,” Payti said, who is coaching Redukanu in the “informal” system from March.
“The sports have changed extensively. The balls are four times heavier than back in 2021 and Emma is not the biggest hitter there.
“If you can’t put a ball through court on a Windy, heavy clay court day against a person like IGA, then you are going to be in all kinds of trouble.”
Most of the game’s largest hitters are not playing at the Queen Club this week and it is giving Redukanu a real opportunity to push to be part of the weekend.
She is also closing in a position in the top 32 of the WTA rankings, which will be sufficient to secure her a seeding at the end of this month.
