Emma Raducanu discusses coaching role with Mark Petchey

Emma Raducanu is in discussions with Mark Petchey to potentially become her full-time coach after their successful collaboration during the Miami Open, where she reached the quarter-finals. Petchey, who previously coached Andy Murray and has a strong rapport with Raducanu, was in her coaching box during the tournament alongside Jane O'Donoghue. Despite their positive history, a significant hurdle remains due to Petchey's ongoing role as a commentator for the Tennis Channel. Raducanu has not had a permanent coach since Nick Cavaday stepped down in January, and she has emphasized the importance of finding the right fit for her team. Currently ranked No. 47 in the WTA, Raducanu is determined to make a thoughtful decision rather than rush into a new coaching relationship. The outcome of her discussions with Petchey could lead to a pivotal change in her coaching setup ahead of the grass-court season.
