Raducanu closing in on Petchey as next coach

Emma Raducanu has had seven full time coaches since she started her professional career in the summer of 2021

This does not include several interim coaches, Nigel Sears, Andrew Richardson, Torben Beltz, Dmitry Tursunov, Sebastian Sachs, Nick Cavaday, and Vlado Platenik

She and her team are apparently in discussions with Mark Petchey, Andy Murray’s former coach, about appointing him full time.

The pair did work together during the Covid pandemic in 2020 at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton.

Raducanu’s most impressive run since her shock win in the 2021 US Open came under Petchey’s temporary  renewed influence as she reached her first ever final eight of a WTA 1000 event  in Miami last month.

It was also the most wins she had picked up in a single tournament since her US Open title.

One possible sticking point to a permanent arrangement is that Petchey currently has a role as a commentator for the  Tennis Channel
