Emma Raducanu (24, UK, world ranking 31st), who rose as the Cinderella of women's tennis after writing the record as the youngest major champion in 2021, received an encouraging message from 'women's tennis legend' Kim Clijsters (43, Belgium) regarding her recent pink-hued updates. This is a sincere piece of advice that happiness off the court will serve as a positive foundation for improving her performance.

According to a report by U.S. sports specialty outlet Sports Kid on the 19th (Korean time), Clijsters smiled while mentioning Raducanu's recent romance rumors during her appearance on the podcast program 'Love All'.

Through the broadcast, Clijsters said, "I recently saw photos on social media suggesting that Raducanu has a new boyfriend," adding, "She looks very happy right now and is enjoying life. It's good to see her like that."

While the romance rumors could be dismissed as mere gossip, the perspective of a senior player who knows the loneliness and pressure of tour life better than anyone else was different. Clijsters pointed out that emotional stability in personal life could be the key to overcoming slumps.

Clijsters said, "Simply becoming happy off the court is truly a great help to playing better on the court. I have always said so," actively supporting Raducanu's romance.

It is analyzed that Raducanu, who had been trapped under the intense attention unique to British media and the public gaze, needed a 'sanctuary' where she could breathe. Clijsters explained this is in the same vein as Raducanu finding psychological stability by reuniting with her coach Andrew Richardson, who understands her best.

Although she reached as high as world number 10 in women's tennis after winning the US Open as a teenager, Raducanu experienced severe growing pains and slumps. It remains to be seen whether she can make a comeback on the court once again, using the energy of love as a driving force.
