The 2021 US Open champion is looking for her fifth coach in 16 months, and this has affected Raducanu’s performance on the Tour. Apart from that, recurring injuries have also hindered her progress. Currently, a wrist injury has forced her to drop out of the Billie Jean King Cup.
Recently, the founder of the WTA, Billie Jean King, gave Raducanu some valuable advice to regain her form on the Tour. The American legend advised her to find a coach who will stay through her ups and downs. She believes in her capabilities and feels that she needs to work with someone who doesn’t want to be there for ‘agendas’ but for the player’s growth.
