Martina Navratilova knows a bit about being the best and talks about three things here - that Raducanu has the inherent ability to get to the top, that she needs a consistent coach and that humidity wasn't the biggest factor affecting her in the match against Pegula.
“If she stays healthy and plays this well, then she’ll be seeded at Roland Garros,” Navratilova told Sky Sports Tennis. “I think she’ll move up the ranking well enough into the top 30. The biggest question mark is her health.
“Hopefully she can sort out her coaching situation because she’s been in a state of flux, but I think she needs to commit to somebody and stay with them for a little bit, see how that works.
“If she played like she did against Pegula, then the sky’s the limit.”
Raducanu had a worrying health issue at the end of the second set against Pegula, as she called for medical assistance after suggesting she felt dizzy.
Navratilova suggested the issue may not have been physical and more a reaction to the pressure she was feeling in the heat of battle against last year’s US Open finalist.
“It was amazing. The way she looked at the end of that second set, you think this match is over and somehow she won the set, she won the tie-break, and still competed in the third but she was not feeling well,” added Navratilova.
“I think the stress contributed to that because the weather was fine, it was cool, they finished after 11pm so the weather was [not a factor]. The humidity takes it out of you a lot, but still – this was something more for Emma and it’s just amazing that she finished the match.”

Interesting. I think it was a combination of both. But if it was mental stress, she did at least win that set0 -

Draper wins in Indian Wells and loses to the eventual winner of Miami. That loss doesn’t look so bad in hindsight.2 -
