After her meteoric rise to US Open success and global stardom in 2021, it’s been a bumpy ride back down to earth for British tennis star Emma Raducanu.

While a string of injuries have been largely to blame for defeats and retirements on the court, we assess how far her frequent changes of coach and corporate demands have affected her readiness for life at the top end of tennis.

On the eve of Wimbledon, we hear from Tracy Austin and Jelena Ostapenko, who both tasted Grand Slam success at a young age and Raducanu’s super-agent Max Eisenbud.

Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Nesta McGregor, Russell Fuller, Mike Dickson

Producer: Sam Sheringham
