Raducanu Set for Ninth Coach as Petchey Exits

Emma Raducanu will soon be searching for her ninth coach since her 2021 US Open victory, as Mark Petchey has confirmed he cannot commit to a full-time role due to ongoing TV commitments. Their partnership since March included Raducanu reaching the third round at Wimbledon and reclaiming the British No. 1 ranking. Petchey has emphasized that a permanent coaching solution would best serve Raducanu and is open to helping with the transition, possibly by assisting in the search for a replacement. He has stressed the importance of creating a stable environment to support Raducanu's growth. Both parties remain focused on building on the progress Raducanu has shown in recent tournaments. The frequent coaching changes underscore the ongoing search for stability in her team.
