Things aren’t going the way of Emma Raducanu at the moment. Before the Wimbledon Championships, there were hopes that she could dig deep at the tournament, riding on the home support. However, she bowed out of the tournament in the third round, losing against Aryna Sabalenka in straight sets. Subsequently, she faced a massive backlash from the fans, who slammed her for her poor show in the tournament and a disappointing run of form this year. Amid this, her coach, Mark Petchey, came to her aid as he slammed the haters with a stern message.
Petchey joined Raducanu’s team back in March this year and has overseen decent results with the fellow Brit. However, Raducanu is yet to reach the best that she showed a few years back. Nonetheless, fans have lost patience fast and aimed criticism at Raducanu for her poor show in recent tournaments. As a result, Petchey had to speak out, and he called out the fans for their constant criticism.
Taking to his official X handle, Petchey wrote, “If people spent as much time investing in making their own lives better, as they do judging others, they wouldn’t have time to hate because they would be so happy living the life that currently makes them envious enough to waste their lives passing judgement.”
