Raducanu shows glimpses of best form in beating former Wimbledon champion Vondrousova

Emma Raducanu played some of her best tennis since her U.S. Open title in 2021 to sweep aside former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova 6-3, 6-3 on Wednesday to reach the third round. She may have to up her level even further in the next match, though: the British home favorite will be up against No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. 'Yeah, I guess there's no pressure at all on me the next round,' Raducanu said, laughing. There's always pressure on Raducanu playing at Wimbledon, especially after she became the first British woman since 1977 to capture a Grand Slam title when she won at Flushing Meadows as a qualifier four years ago. She struggled with injuries and form after that, and her fourth-round showing at Wimbledon last year is her best result in a major since. But her win against Vondrousova, the 2023 Wimbledon champion and 2019 French Open runner-up, showed Raducanu might be back to her best. 'She was playing amazing tennis,' Vondrousova said. 'She was crushing me in the rallies, so there wasn't much I could do.' Raducanu seemed pretty impressed with her own performance as well. 'I think today I played really, really well,' she said. 'I mean, there were some points that I have no idea how I turned around. ... I knew today I had to be aggressive because Marketa would beat me if I was going to push the ball around.'

Liverpool confirm arrival of best in the world

Arguably though the area of the squad that has seen the biggest shake-up at the club this summer has been the goalkeeping department. Liverpool had a really strong goalkeeper contingent last season with Alisson Becker as the club's no.1 choice, and Caoimhin Kelleher and Vitezslav Jaros behind him. Advertisement On top of that, goalkeeping coaches Fabian Otte and Claudio Taffarel were both key pillars in creating a strong environment for the club's goalkeepers to flourish. But as Liverpool confirmed on their official website, the duo is set to depart, adding to the departures of Jaros on loan to Ajax and Kelleher on a permanent deal to Brentford. In their place, the Reds have appointed Xavi Valero, who returns to the club after 15 years away from Anfield. Previously he worked at Liverpool under Rafa Benitez for three years between 2007 until 2010. During his time at the club he worked with Jerzy Dudek, Pepe Reina and Peter Gulacsi. Advertisement After leaving Liverpool, he's worked at some of the biggest clubs and some of the best goalkeepers in the world. From Real Madrid to Napoli, Chelsea and Inter Milan. During the course of his coaching he's also lifted both the Europa League and the Europa Conference League. Valero spent the last seven years at West Ham United, where he created a competitive goalkeeping environment and helped to develop a number of the club's young goalkeepers. Valero is a huge coup for Liverpool. He's known as an innovator within the game, who works closely with neuroscience experts to help his goalkeepers improve not just physically but mentally as well. The Spaniard places a key emphasis on the psychological aspects of the game from a goalkeeper's point of view. Advertisement He's also a staunch advocate of goalkeepers participating in the vast majority of team training sessions, rather than working in an isolated group away from the rest of the team. This is something he introduced under Benitez at Liverpool to great success, helping to improve all the club's goalkeepers' ability on the ball. © IMAGO - Xavi Valero Liverpool To put it succinctly, Liverpool have lost a brilliant goalkeeping coach in Otte but they have replaced him with a coach in Valero who is regarded as one of the best in the world in his role. Bringing in someone of his expertise is a massive boost for the Reds. Valero will be arriving at an entirely new environment at Liverpool, with an almost completely fresh faced goalkeeping department. Apart from Alisson, there will be three new goalkeepers coming to Anfield in Giorgi Mamardashvili, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman. The former is expected to push Alisson for the no.1 position, and Valero's appointment is particularly smart because he has experience in how to deal with two goalkeepers pushing for the no.1 spot at West Ham.
