Grand slam champion Emma Raducanu has announced her latest coaching split in the wake of a second-round exit at the Australian Open. But the coach has now had relatively brief stints with Raducanu and, before that, Italy’s Matteo Berrettini and American champion Sloane Stephens. Sears and then Richardson were in the box for her 2021 breakthroughs at Wimbledon and the US Open respectively. In 2025 Raducanu lost to Iga Swiatekat the Australian Open (third round) and French Open (second round) before going down to world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon (third round) and Elena Rybakina at the US Open (third round). She was beaten by world No.55 Anastasia Potapova at this month’s Australian Open, and also lost to Australia’s world No.204 Taylah Preston in a Hobart lead-up tournament.
