Emma Raducanu: Hey Serena! Thanks for taking the time to chat with me. You’ve been such an inspiration throughout my career. How do you manage to maintain such a high level of fitness and performance over the years?
Serena Williams: Hey Emma! Thanks, that means a lot. Well, it’s a mix of dedication, the right training programs, and listening to my body. I focus a lot on recovery and ensuring I get the right nutrition. But what about you? How are you handling the transition from junior circuits to the big leagues?
Emma Raducanu: It’s definitely been an exciting yet challenging journey. The intensity is on another level, and I’m learning so much every day. I try to balance everything by maintaining a strong routine but also making time for relaxation and mental health. Any tips on dealing with the pressure and expectations?
Serena Williams: Ah, pressure is part of the game, but it’s all about perspective. Keep your eyes on your own path, don’t get distracted by external noise. And remember, each match is a learning opportunity, win or lose. How do you stay motivated to keep pushing yourself?
Emma Raducanu: I find motivation in setting incremental goals and celebrating small victories. Plus, I get a lot of inspiration from the greats like you. Speaking of which, what’s your pre-match ritual?

Emma Raducanu: Oh, that’s cool! I usually write down my game plan and visualize key points in the match. And I have this lucky bracelet that I wear every game. It’s more of a mental anchor than anything else. What’s your take on the evolving landscape of tennis? Any advice for the next generation?
Serena Williams: Tennis is evolving so fast, with new talents bringing different styles and energy. My advice would be to keep innovating and stay open to learning. The sport is as much mental as it is physical. Stay resilient, adapt quickly, and most importantly, enjoy the ride!
