improve physically by Tim Henman who described it as a \u201cglaring area\u201d in her game.<\/p>\n<p>Raducanu was eliminated in the Round of 32 at Indian Wells in comfortable fashion by world No 6 Amanda Anisimova who lost just two games in a straight-sets victory, and while it has been a positive 12 months for the Briton, she remains a way off the top of the women\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p>As to how she can close the gap, Henman suggested her physicality needed to be improved so she can avoid small injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, the glaring area that she needs to improve on is physically,\u201d he said on Sky Sports. \u201cIt was highlighted in her match against Anisimova.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s never going to be as big a ball striker as Anisimova, and the physicality that she brings to the court is obviously intimidating, as these top players are, but that\u2019s where I think Raducanu needs to be physically stronger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe needs more physical resilience, so she doesn\u2019t get the little injuries that put her away from the court. They stop her building the momentum on the match court.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE ON RADUCANU ON T365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>* <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-one-dimensional-advice-greg-rusedski-indian-wells-open-hammering\"><strong>Emma Raducanu gets candid advice in one-dimensional claim after Indian Wells hammering<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n* <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-rankings-slide-miami-open\"><strong>Why Emma Raducanu\u2019s rankings slide could have a big impact on her season<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n* <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/fed-cup\/emma-raducanu-billie-jean-king-cup-decision-made\"><strong>Emma Raducanu: Billie Jean King Cup decision confirmed<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOff the court, mainly, but again, you can still do a lot of physical work on the court. Whether it\u2019s two on one when you\u2019re hitting and moving and building up that physical resilience, to get stronger, to get faster, to hit the ball harder, to serve bigger. If I could pinpoint one area, it would most definitely be physicalness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Henman was joined in the broadcast by former world No 1 Martina Navratilova, who said any player can hit the ball hard once in a while, but the best of the best consistently do it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can hit the ball harder once in a while, but if you\u2019re not strong enough, you can\u2019t maintain it,\u201d the 18-time singles champion said. \u201cSo it\u2019s not hitting it harder all the time, but being able to sustain it, and the harder you can hit it with less effort, the more control you have.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then you save the body, because the muscles are doing the work instead of the joints.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/the-surprising-final-statistic-that-gives-elena-rybakina-an-edge-over-aryna-sabalenka-ahead-of-indian-wells-meeting\">The surprising final statistic that gives Elena Rybakina an edge over Aryna Sabalenka ahead of Indian Wells meeting<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>Want more from Tennis365?
