20-year-old Emma Raducanu stunned the world when she walked away with the 2021 US Open crown. At the time, she was aged only 18, and her landmark win bagged her plenty of lucrative endorsement deals. But the 2021 US Open win seems far away, given that Raducanu’s form has been erratic at best ever since. Right now, the young Briton is recovering from several ankle and wrist surgeries, which she underwent following her sudden withdrawal from the 2023 Madrid Open. However, even as she recovers, she is seemingly not afraid of taking bold decisions. Her latest announcement revealed the departure of Sebastian Sachs, the latest coach to come in Raducanu’s firing line.

Raducanu’s inconsistent form had a lot to do with her erratic and frequent coaching changes. In the last couple of years, Raducanu worked with as many as five coaches. As it stands, the number is set to increase to six owing to Raducanu’s latest announcement.

Emma Raducanu leaves her fans perplexed yet again

Following the appointment of Sebastian Sachs, Raducanu’s fans were hopeful that there would finally be some stability in the youngster’s pro tennis career. However, Sachs, like the four coaches before him, didn’t last long. Raducanu announced the latest development in a tweet. She wrote, “I have really enjoyed Seb’s coaching and working with him. It’s unfortunate that circumstances made it unfeasible for both of us to continue right now and we have decided to part ways. I wish Seb all the best moving forwards.”

This time, her fans weren’t happy at all with Raducanu’s decision. Some even went on to ridicule her. One Twitter sarcastically suggested that Raducanu has not stuck to even one of her coaches over the last two years for more than a month.

One user had a cynical take on the announcement, suggesting that the pattern has become all too familiar.

Another user suggested that Raducanu’s not at all serious about sticking to one coach.

What’s next for Raducanu?

Emma Raducanu’s fans are eagerly awaiting to find out who the 20-year-old’s next coach will be. However, owing to her eccentric hire-and-fire attitude, whoever comes in to replace Sachs will be wary. Hopefully for Raducanu, her next coaching appointment will last longer than her previous five coaches.

Raducanu herself will be intent on recovering quickly from her surgeries. After all, the more tennis she continues to miss, the lower she slips in the WTA Tour rankings. The 20-year-old was almost certain to show up at the Madrid Open. However, following a controversial press conference, she announced her withdrawal from the tournament. In a matter of hours, she went to the hospital and underwent multiple surgeries.
