Agassi tells Raducanu not to judge effort by results in comeback journey
Eight-time Grand Slam champion Andre Agassi endured a four-year title drought between 1995 and 1999, recounting his battle to regain form in his 2009 autobiography.
Andre Agassi advised Emma Raducanu to prioritize being her best every day, rather than judging her performance based on results or striving for perfection. The former US Open champion recalled his own five-year slump during which he fell to a world ranking of 141st, during which time he chronicled his struggles in his 2009 autobiography.
Agassi's words, delivered to the BBC, emphasized the importance of accepting one's current level of performance and feeling comfortable with it. Raducanu, 23, has not advanced past the last eight in a major since her 2021 U.S. Open victory. Nadia Osaka, who secured her fourth Grand Slam title in 2021, also found inspiration from Agassi's book last year, after returning to the semifinals of the U.S. Open for the first time in five years.
