Nevertheless, Raducanu remains undaunted while facing myriad challenges. She shared her first update after the Singapore Open to her 2.5 million Instagram followers on Wednesday.

Emma Raducanu refused to be too downcast after suffering an opening round exit at the Singapore Open when the British seventh seed lost 5-7 7-5 7-5 to the 101st-ranked Cristina Bucsa.

Emma Raducanu wanted to play more this season, and so far, she has achieved that goal with mixed results. Raducanu pulled out of the Auckland Open, won two matches at the Australian Open before getting dominated Iga Swiatek.

Tim Henman believes Emma Raducanu 'needs a new coach', having recently watched the tennis star lose to the world No 101 at the Singapore Open. Raducanu exited the competition on Monday, with the Briton losing a three-hour epic against Cristina Bucsa.
