Raducanu appears to be dropping out of professional tennis

Short post - just a spur of the moment thought based on yet more news that Emma Raducanu is missing a host of tennis tournaments - the whole of the clay court season? - because of ill-health. But is it really ill health - meaning physical ill health? I don't think that it is as straightforward as that. I could be wrong. 

But a couple of years ago I predicted that Raducanu would drop out of pro tennis early as it is too demanding for her emotionally.

I believe that she suffers from anxiety brought about by the demands of professional tennis:

And I sense that her current lengthy absence from the game is partly due to anxiety and not entirely due to post viral illness as consistently stated in the news media. She is the most injury prone professional tennis player on the planet - male or female - it seems to me. This can't just be about physical injuries.

She seems to have an underlying desire to get off the court as the experience is too emotionally uncomfortable for her.

Her constant changing of coaches is also a symptom of anxiety. She is searching for a father figure to reassure her. A magic formula in support. She won't and can't find it as the solution comes from within. 

I sense that her father has created this dependency.

Just a thought. On the fly. Bye bye.
