Raducanu Names Roig as Full-Time Coach Through 2025

Emma Raducanu has appointed Rafael Nadal’s former coach Francisco (Francis) Roig as her new full-time coach through the end of 2025, marking her eighth coaching change since her 2021 US Open victory. The appointment follows a successful post-Wimbledon trial, as Raducanu aims to improve her results against top-tier opponents and secure a seeding at the upcoming US Open. Roig, who spent nearly two decades coaching Nadal and has also worked with Matteo Berrettini, is known for his technical expertise. Raducanu's recent strong performances at the Miami Open, Queen’s Club, and Citi Open suggest a resurgence in form. Mark Petchey, her previous informal coach, will remain close to her team but Roig’s arrival signals a new chapter in her career. The tennis world is watching to see if Roig’s experience can help Raducanu return to the WTA elite.
