British teenager Emma Raducanu has taken the world by storm over the past month. The teenager, in her first-ever appearance at the US Open in New York, passed through all obstacles and won the title. Emma showed incredible maturity for an 18-year-old on the court and in her off-court conduct as well. However, she has been looking to bolster her backroom staff with a new coach.
Recently, there was a development in that particular search for Emma. There is a possibility of her teaming up with Carlos Rodriguez. He was the former coach of legendary players like Justine Henin and Li Na. Both these players went on to become Grand Slam champions under his guidance.
