The British tennis star reached the quarter-finals of the Miami Open recently and Henman expects her to kick on from her best performance at a tournament since her stunning win at the US Open in 2021.

The former player told TNT Sports: "I was just so pleased to see Emma really out there competing and I think showing better physical endurance. She played a lot of tournaments this year and hasn't necessarily had the success after the Australian Open. But the fact that she was just out on the match court, competing against the other best players in the world is a really good sign.

"And because she's such a good tennis player, the results will come. Sometimes you have to remain patient and deal with the bumps in the road.

"But the way she played Miami, the second-round win against Emma Navarro, I think was brilliant. To win that match 7-6 in the third when Navarro served for the match was really impressive.

"And even in her defeat against Jess Pegula, I thought Pegula was playing brilliantly for large parts of that match. Raducanu was going toe-to-toe with one of the best hard court players in the world."

Raducanu's strong performance in Miami came after she parted company with coach Vladimir Platenik after just one match together, although Henman in unsure how long her temporary arrangement with replacement Mark Petchey will last given his TV commitments.

The former Grand Slam semi-finalist said: "I think it did work very well in Miami. And obviously, Mark Petchey is someone I've known for many, many years, and he's worked with Emma before. And so it was very much a familiar face and a familiar voice for Emma.

"What happens going forward, I really don't know. I'm as intrigued as everybody else because Mark has his responsibilities with the Tennis Channel in America. And so will he be able to commit time? I don't know. So we'll just have to wait and see from that point of view."
