British tennis player Emma Raducanu has been the marquee player from the women’s section to grab headlines. She created history by winning the US Open 2021. However, she parted ways with her coach Andrew Richardson recently, which did raise quite a few eyebrows.

Well, there has been a positive development in the Emma Raducanu camp. She has appointed a new coach in Torben Beltz who will guide her from the 2022 season onwards.

The 18-year-old added, “He brings a lot of experience. He’s obviously worked with Kerber who is such a great player and has done extremely well and won three Slams and I think that experience definitely helps with someone as inexperienced as me so he can help guide me through, which I feel really confident about.”

“Also, he’s a really positive, cheerful guy who brings great energy to the team so I think that’s also important when you’re traveling on the road for quite a long time on the tour.”
