Raducanu eyes Indian Wells without adding new coach
Emma Raducanu, June 24, 2025

EMMA RADUCANU has revealed she is not looking for a new coach following her split from Francisco Roig.

The Spaniard became the latest departure from Raducanu’s team last month after six months working together, with the pair gelling well on a personal level but not aligning on her style of play.

The former US Open champion was outspoken after a second-round loss to Anastasia Potapova at the Australian Open, saying she wanted to be playing “in a way more similar to when I was younger.”

Her next tournament in Romania saw her reach her first final since her victory in New York in 2021 and she insisted she was happy working only with hitting partner Alexis Canter, a 27-year-old former British player who reached a career-high ranking of 779 last year.

Raducanu told the Guardian: “Right now I wouldn’t say I’m actively looking for a coach.

“I have Alexis in my corner. He knows me as a person. He knows me as a player and I’ve actually had some success with him in the past year. So it’s going well.

“I know the drills that I need to be doing… just repetition of doing those key fundamentals. I think I want to go back to that and a more aggressive style of playing.”

The 23-year-old remains in a good position at 25 in the rankings and will hope for a strong showing at the Indian Wells Open, which begins on March 4.
