class=\"ciam-article-t365\">\n<p>Emma Raducanu has been told she needs to consistently play tennis matches if she wants to make it back to the top of the tennis tree.<\/p>\n<p>Raducanu reached just the second final of her WTA career earlier this month but was handily beaten by Sorana Cirstea before pulling out of the next tournament, the Qatar Open, due to illness.<\/p>\n<p>When assessing Raducanu\u2019s final defeat, former Laura Robson and Andy Murray coach Miles Maclagan suggested Raducanu needed to find a consistency in her career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been so many injuries, so much chopping and changing of coaches, a little bit of consistency and belief,\u201d he told Sky Sports. \u201cYou need to put those matches in the bank to start to trust your body, to trust your decision-making in tougher circumstances so when the dust settles, there will be positives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for the final defeat, Maclagan said Raducanu missed opportunity to put pressure on her rival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a combination of issues. It was the perfect start from Sorana Cirstea,\u201d he said. \u201cShe came out full of purpose, full of aggression and it worked for her. There were some moments there when Raducanu could have just worked her way into the match and created a little more stress for Cirstea, but even with the way those first eight games just flashed by, she got it back to 2-2 in the second but that fifth game was significant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong> MORE ON RADUCANU ON T365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/who-is-emma-raducanus-first-round-opponent-dubai\"><strong>Who is Emma Raducanu\u2019s first-round opponent in Dubai?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-has-done-her-career-backwards-former-star-reacts-crazy-stat\"><strong>Emma Raducanu \u2018has done her career backwards\u2019 as former ATP star reacts to \u2018crazy\u2019 stat<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Raducanu is still searching for her next coach after a six-month stint with Francisco Roig, but in the meantime, she is being assisted by LTA coach Alexis Canter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been helping me, hitting with me, and he\u2019s been around me through various different stages, very different game styles, and trying to just bring me back to myself \u2013 my game identity \u2013 playing in the way I want to,\u201d Raducanu said of Canter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this week was a good step in that direction. I\u2019m really happy with how the week\u2019s gone. I don\u2019t know what I\u2019ll be doing moving forward, but for now, this is working.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s mainly about finding my style on the court, putting my imprint on it, and just letting it come from within.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say that I\u2019m happier, but there\u2019s still a long way to go \u2013 definitely steps in the right direction. I can\u2019t go from zero to 100 straight away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?
