Emma Raducanu addressed the questions regarding her mysterious coach hunt. The Brit openly discussed the strategy that she applies while bringing in a mentor to back her amid competition.
Raducanu parted ways with her coach, Nick Cavaday, following her third-round exit at the Australian Open. Their nine-month partnership proved successful as the young star jumped from world No. 300 to the top 60 in rankings. However, the unexpected split came when Cavaday cited a chronic health condition as the reason for his call.
Raducanu recently lifted the curtains off from her strategy behind picking a new coach. In an interview with The National, the WTA expressed her desire to take time to find a replacement for her childhood mentor, Cavaday.
“It’s a decision that I want to take my time with. I think that’s why I haven’t necessarily jumped into something straight away, because I want to make sure it’s a right fit,” she said.
Despite the challenges of her current situation, the 22-year-old sees it as an opportunity for growth.
“So I think I’m using this time period to just figure out what I really value. I’m not too sure yet right now. I haven’t come to any plans or decisions. So yeah, I’m just taking it, using the next couple weeks to see how I feel, and then make a decision,” she added.
Emma Raducanu’s 2025 season has gotten off to a rocky start. Following her surprising first-round exit at the Singapore Tennis Open, the WTA star now has her sights set on a fresh opportunity in Abu Dhabi.
