    *Sabalenka 4-4 Raducanu

    Tracy Austin
    Two-time Grand Slam champion on BBC One

    Emma Raducanu is an excellent mover, she always has been, but there are some shots that you receive which have so much power you just want to blunt the force.

    The slice helps you to do that. It helps you to change the rhythm and maybe even send it back short and low. It helps to keep the point going.
