Raducanu has more than a fair chance of receiving the wild-card for Indian Wells. Also, the youngster split with coach Andrew Richardson as she stated that she would need someone with prior coaching experience on the WTA tour.

Along with this modification, Emma also appeared to have made a big change to her game before making a comeback on the tour. The Brit appeared to be practicing a single-handed backhand during one of her practice sessions.
