Emma Raducanu is looking for a permanent coach once again, but she has drafted in some familiar faces to get her over another challenging period in her career after she disposed of the services of Vlado Platenik.<\/p>\n
Raducanu\u2019s<\/a> latest coaching trial lasted just one match, as she informed Platenik that she was not happy with his input into her game after he joined her team for the WTA 1000 tournament in Indian Wells earlier this month.<\/p>\n \u201cI totally understand Emma, she\u2019s not in an easy position. The world is looking at her after the US Open and everybody is expecting \u2013 including herself \u2013 what she is going to do next,\u201d Platenik told the BBC.<\/p>\n \u201cSo for me, it\u2019s absolutely understandable that she\u2019s under a lot of pressure. She told me she was feeling stressed.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are no hard feelings from my side. She finished the relationship in a fair way, maybe too quickly, but this is tennis, this is sport. We need to respect that.<\/p>\n \u201cShe was not feeling OK, and that was her decision. I didn\u2019t want to go into deeper communication about that. I think the player needs to feel good, and the player needs to make a decision. Sometimes you make a good decision, and sometimes bad.\u201d<\/p>\n Emma Raducanu splits with yet another coach \u2013 what comes next?<\/a><\/p>\n Why Emma Raducanu\u2019s return to Instagram was always inevitable<\/a><\/p>\n Raducanu is on the hunt for yet another permanent coach after disposing of a host of advisers since her US Open win in 2021 and she has turned to a couple of familiar faces to give her some advice at the Miami Open.<\/p>\n Jane O\u2019Donoghue has worked with Raducanu infrequently in recent years and answered the call from the 22-year-old to join her at the Miami Open in her coaching box.<\/p>\n In addition, former British Davis Cup player and respected broadcaster Mark Petchey has also joined Raducanu\u2019s team, after he worked with the youngster prior to her iconic US Open win.<\/p>\n It is unclear whether O\u2019Donoghue or Petchey would be willing to commit to a longer-term agreement with Raducanu.<\/p>\n Petchey, who is also a former coach of Andy Murray, is unlikely to watch away from his established role as a Tennis Channel contributor, but he is a big supporter of Raducanu and has spoken out against her critics.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that she is misunderstood,\u201d Petchey told Betway in January. \u201cIf there was an Olympic event for cutting people down who have been successful, as a nation, we (Great Britain) would win the gold medal for it every four years.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s had to deal with so much which must be incredibly hard for a youngster who is on the cover of every magazine and everybody\u2019s favourite tennis player after the US Open. Obviously, when things don\u2019t go from strength to strength, the attitudes of some people change.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s already getting called a one-Slam wonder like she\u2019s never going to win one again, and that must be incredibly difficult to deal with. People love to take pot shots at her but there\u2019s a lot more to her than just being a tennis player.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is so much more to her personality, and she has so many other interests which people don\u2019t realise.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s not arrogant, but you\u2019ve got to be confident. You\u2019ve got to believe in yourself to exist and survive. Let alone thrive.<\/p>\n \u201cTennis is a ruthless hostile environment where you have at a Grand Slam, 127 other players who absolutely want to beat your brains out.<\/p>\n \u201cThey want the same dream that you\u2019re fighting for, the same trophy and only one person is going to put a pair of hands on that silverware at the end of it. So, if you don\u2019t back yourself, no one else is going to back you.\u201d<\/p>\n Having friendly faces around her may be the best option for Raducanu right now, after she lived through a worrying experience in Dubai after what was described as a \u2018fixated fan\u2019 was removed from the stands of her match against Karolina Muchova.<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Emma Raducanu\u2019s former coach reveals how he was sacked after one match<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The post Emma Raducanu shakes up her coaching team again as she turns to her \u2018old guard\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Emma Raducanu is looking for a permanent coach once again, but she has drafted in some familiar faces to get her over another challenging period in her career after she disposed of the services of Vlado Platenik.
