She added: “How do you recover your natural game after it has been changed? It’s very difficult to find what you had before. I think she’s really enjoyed winning and I don’t think she wants to lose now. It’s a waste and we could do with a champion here.”
Jones’ comments come after Raducanu addressed her tendency to go through coaches in quick succession. The 21-year-old worked with five different mentors in the space of 18 months and is currently without a proper team as she bids to make her comeback.
“I ask my coaches a lot of questions, I think that on certain occasions they haven’t been able to keep up with the questions I’ve asked so maybe that’s why it ended,” she told BBC Radio 4 today. “But yeah, it’s something I’ve always done and I keep provoking, I keep asking questions to coaches and challenging their thinking as well. I’m not someone that you can just tell me what to do and I’ll do it, I need to understand why and then I’ll do it.”
