Emma Raducanu, a 19-year-old British tennis star who is now ranked 12th in the WTA, is working with a new coach after parting ways with German Torben Beltz. Emma Raducanu had a disappointing year in 2022, with only two victories and five losses. Her most recent defeat was at Miami when she fell to Katerina Siniakova in the second round.
Nevertheless, amidst all the speculations regarding her sponsorships, the Brit is looking for a new advisor after parting ways with her previous instructor.

Croatian Ivan Ljubicic, Serbian Novak Djokovic, Frenchman Richard Gasquet, Canadian Milos Raonic, Croatian Borna Coric, and Russian Maria Sharapova are the players with whom Riccardo Piatti collaborated. Piatti’s most recent successful cooperation is with former world number nine Italian Jannik Sinner, with whom he just parted up.

Raducanu has struggled on the WTA tour after a spectacular qualifier victory at Flushing Meadows in September.

However, prior to that, she will compete for Great Britain in a Billie Jean King Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic in Prague on April 15-16.
