Emma Raducanu is planning to pass on next week’s Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships where she would have required a wild card and instead head back to London to analyse her early exit at the Qatar Open.<\/p>\n

Raducanu squandered set point in a second-set tie-break as she lost to Anhelina Kalinina in the opening round <\/a>on Monday.<\/p>\n

The British No 7 had been granted a wild card for the first WTA 1000 event of the season in Doha, but slipped to a fourth defeat in seven matches since returning from injury.<\/p>\n

“I just struggled with the timing of the ball to be honest. I think it’s going to come with more time, practising as well as matches,” Raducanu told Sky Sports Tennis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s going to come with time, practising and its hard for me to get used to just the tour schedule, it’s just like: tournament, back, tournament just straight away.<\/p>\n

“So I think that I need to schedule my tournaments a bit better as well as just trying to get some more matches under my belt.<\/p>\n

“I think that I’m just going to go home and practise and we’ll see where it goes from there.”<\/p>\n

Bartoli: She has potential to come back to top 10 but a lot of work needs to be done<\/h3>\n

Marion Bartoli believes former US Open champion Raducanu has the potential to return to the top 10, despite her current ranking down at 262 in the world.<\/p>\n

“I felt towards the end of the second set she was getting a little tired and they had two really long points when Emma was up 6-5 in the tie-break and you can see on the match point she was basically struggling physically, so it’s all of that you have to take in,” said Bartoli, a former Wimbledon champion.<\/p>\n

“A huge debrief has to be done with her team as to what’s going on now that she’s been able to play a few tournaments back to back and really come up with a plan because you can see some of the shots are still there.<\/p>\n

“You can see that if she put it together she has absolutely the potential to come back in that top 10 but a lot of work needs to be done.”<\/p>\n

“Forty-eight unforced errors – that’s where you start when you debrief the match,” said former British No 1 Laura Robson. “That’s a sign of a very tough day in the office.<\/p>\n

“How do you cut the number down in future matches? And yes, she did bring the number down as the match went on but it was almost a bit too late because Kalinina had a bit too much confidence in her backhand as the match went on. That was really the story.<\/p>\n

“As soon as Kalinina was able to rip the backhand cross-court, Emma wasn’t able to get enough width on her forehand and that affects the depth.”<\/p>\n
