Emma Raducanu added former Rafael Nadal coach Francis Roig to her team on a full-time basis before this month’s US Open, Live on Sky Sports–
The 2021 Champion in the Flush Meadows has worked with British coach Mark Petchey on an informal basis since March, enjoying a positive run of results.
However, Petchey’s TV commitments meant that he could not always become Raducanu’s full-time coach and after a trial with Roig after Wimbledon, the 22-year-old will start working with him at the Cincinnati Open this week after being contracted by the end of 2025.
