The public still has divided opinions about the collaboration between Emma Raducanu and Francisco Roig. The young British woman and Rafael Nadal's former coach recently started working together, and Roig could be an important figure for the British tennis player in the future.
Famous faces of the tennis scene reacted to this collaboration, and one of those who decided to share her opinion about it is Martina Navratilova, the legendary tennis player.
In an interview with Gigi Salmon for Sky Sports, Navratilova pointed out that she still hasn't had the chance to talk to Roig, and therefore it's hard to create a clear picture of this collaboration.
However, she believes that it will take some time to really be able to say with confidence whether the two can do great things together.

By all accounts, it is crucial that Raducanu and her new coach create a feeling of trust and security.
The results will best demonstrate her qualities
Throughout the history of tennis, we have witnessed that sometimes predictions are not a true indicator of what will happen. Navratilova believes that practice and training are not the best indicator of someone's quality until it is confirmed on the tennis courts.
At the moments when you realize that you have improved in some aspect, you can get a clearer picture regarding your coach and continue the collaboration.
However, she emphasizes that now it is all up to Emma Raducana, who will have to make the right decisions, and the best indicator of the success of their collaboration will be the tennis court and the results of the Briton.
