“People awfully quiet that Radacanu is winning now” : Nick Kyrgios calls out critics after Brit’s remarkable run in Miami
Nick Kyrgios has called out critics after Emma Raducanu’s terrific run in Miami. After her incredible run at the 2021 US Open, Emma Raducanu has consistently struggled with injuries, and form. This has even led to fans and pundits calling her 2021 US Open triumph a fluke.
However, there are some promising signs of the Briton getting back to her best. She defeated Emma Navarro in a tight three set battle in the second round, before taking out McCartney Kessler in the third round. Nick Kyrgios has been a huge admirer of Raducanu’s tennis, and has called out the so called critics of the Briton.
Her uptick in performance comes after yet another change in her coaching staff. The Briton parted ways with Vladimir Platenik, who was also the seventh coach of her career. The Slovakian only lasted for 14 days in Raducanu’s camp before he was sacked.
“People awfully quiet that Radacanu is winning now,’ the Australian wrote. ‘Where all the experts at now? Lol coach’s overrated [sic],” Kyrgios wrote on Twitter.
Emma Raducanu storms into Miami quarterfinals
Emma Raducanu’s spectacular run continues in Miami, as she took out yet another American in the last 16 on Monday. She defeated Amanda Anisimova in straight sets to progress into the quarterfinals. The Briton has now defeated 8th seed Emma Navarro, and 17th seed Amanda Anisimova in Miami.
Prior to the Miami Open, Emma Raducanu could only manage to win one match after the 2025 Australian Open. As far as injuries are concerned, the Briton has remained relatively fit since the start of the year.
She was defeated by Moyuka Uchijima in the first round at the Indian Wells Open. She will look to carry on her form, and go all the way in Miami. This will help her accumulate some crucial WTA points, which would be pivotal before the clay court season.
