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 has advised Emma Raducanu not to measure her progress by results, and to be her best self every day. The former US Open champion reminded Raducanu, 23, that she does not have to always be at 100% to be successful. Agassi's own journey to regaining his form after a five-year slump, chronicled in his 2009 autobiography, inspired Raducanu.
During a four-year period, Agassi's ranking fell to 141st in the world. Raducanu, a British tennis player, had not advanced past the last eight of a major tournament since her unexpected U.S. Open victory in 2021. Agassi's encouragement came after Raducanu expressed that his book had motivated her efforts. Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka, who won her fourth Grand Slam title in 2021, also cited Agassi's book as a source of inspiration earlier this year.
