Sept 23 : Andre Agassi advised former U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu to avoid judging her effort by her results and be comfortable with herself, after she said his autobiography inspired her attempts to shake off a five-year performance slump in the majors.
Eight-times Grand Slam winner Agassi endured a four-year barren spell between winning the 1995 Australian Open and 1999 French Open, during which his ranking fell to 141st in the world.
The American wrote about his battle to regain his form in his autobiography in 2009. Briton Raducanu, 23, has not reached the last eight of a major since her shock 2021 U.S. Open triumph.
“I would encourage her to focus on being the best of herself on a daily basis, but don’t judge that by results or thinking that somehow you have to be 100 per cent,” Agassi told the BBC on Wednesday.

“You have to learn to be 100 per cent of whatever percent you’re at (and) be comfortable in your own identity inside of that, not what people say.”
Japan’s Naomi Osaka, who won her fourth Grand Slam in 2021, also took inspiration from Agassi’s book last year, when she reached the U.S. Open semi-finals for the first time in five years.
