See, the developers have openly stated that Tennis World Tour isn’t finished (my words not theirs – they’ll talk about how the game will evolve from launch with exciting additions), but taking things on face value and from the main menu alone, a scrolling Tennis World Tour logo arrives in various colours to cover up the fact that the ‘news feed’ area is meant to be populated with ‘news’. Well, I’m here to tell you that Tennis World Tour shouldn’t have ever released on the day it did, and judging by the oddities and issues which are currently plaguing the latest tennis title, it quite probably should have been pushed back some more for good measure.Īnd that leaves me in a bit of a quandry. She will compete in the Champions of Tennis tournament at the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi.This is a game that was delayed, and then actually released on the original date, confusing the world and leaving us gamers wondering what all the fuss around the original delay was. Raducanu is scheduled to appear in two exhibition tournaments next month to round off her year. "The only voice she needs to listen to is her own."

"I just feel it's unnecessary to take coaches that have experience when you are dealing with an 18-year-old who is fresh, who is so full of life," the Swede continued. Wilander then stressed Beltz is a "great coach" but ultimately believes Raducanu must develop herself without "too many voices in her head" while she is still so young. "She needs to have fun, she needs to be allowed to do what she wants to do off and on the tennis court, and she needs to develop in her own time and not to force coaches on her." The former world number one told Eurosport: "They need to play the way they want to play, and they need to find out how good they are, and they need to ride the wave of youth and confidence for as far as they can before you start hiring coaches that have helped players to win Grand Slams. However, Mats Wilander has expressed his uncertainty over this appointment and stresses how young players "need to grow up in their own time."
The German is best known for his success with Angelique Kerber, who won the Australian Open and US Open under his guidance in 2016.
There were also rumours of a potential link up with Australian coach Darren Cahill, but Raducanu has since announced Torben Beltz will be the man to work alongside her in this next chapter of her career.

The 19-year-old recently worked with Esteban Carril, Johanna Konta's former mentor, on a trial basis during the scouting period. On the contrary, it's been tough for Raducanu, who parted ways with Richardson in order to find someone with WTA Tour experience. As a teenager putting herself on the map as the first ever qualifier to win a Grand Slam tournament, many would believe finding a new coach would be an easy task.
