Raducanu Enjoys Anonymity as 'Ella', Dominates in First Indian Wells Match
- On March 6 in Indian Wells, Raducanu, seeded 25th, defeated Anastasia Zakharova 6-1, 6-3 in less than 90 minutes.
- After a tough start to the season, Raducanu came to the California desert to shake off back-to-back first-round losses in Qatar and Dubai last month and split with coach Francisco Roig, reuniting with Mark Petchey in an informal coaching role.
- On her tactics, Raducanu says she practised in a way she enjoyed and is starting to get that element of instinctiveness she values, over the last week.
- Her 2021 U.S. Open breakthrough made Raducanu highly recognisable with endorsements and royal moments, yet she sometimes seeks anonymity, adopting an alter ego called 'Ella' at a Southern California coffee shop.
- Raducanu said her game plan was to take control of points, and over the last week she has started to see progress, though she reflected the Middle East swing was too much and affected her health.
