without a coach in the same way that tennis legend Roger Federer did.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/emma-raducanu\">Raducanu<\/a> ended her partnership with Francisco Roig \u2014 the eighth different permanent coach of her professional career \u2014\u00a0following her second round exit at the Australian Open last month.<\/p>\n<p>Roig, a renowned Spanish coach who worked with the great Rafael Nadal for 17 years, had been hired by Raducanu in August last year.<\/p>\n<p>Raducanu has been assisted by Alexis Canter, an LTA coach, on a temporary basis since her split with Roig.<\/p>\n<h2>What advice did Greg Rusedski offer Emma Raducanu?<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking on the latest episode of his\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg5LXIgcqxQWX6NrPBO4leQ\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Off Court With Greg<\/em><\/a> podcast, Rusedski suggested that Raducanu should not rush into making another permanent coaching appointment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I remember Roger Federer going through a period by himself without a coach, and it was possibly the best thing for him,\u201d said the 1997 US Open finalist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause he kind of figured out certain things himself, took ownership of it.<\/p>\n<h2>WTA Tour News<\/h2>\n<p><a

Yes, she did not perform as well as she would like in the finals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe had Canter there, who was hitting with her the week before. And he\u2019s a young guy who goes out with her and basically hits the balls, does the drills. He\u2019s doing some work with her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo she has actually got to figure it out herself and figure out the relationship where she sees eye-to-eye with the coach on how she wants to play out there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Mark Petchey, she was playing more aggressive, she was going after it, she played really well at Wimbledon, losing to [Aryna] Sabalenka in the right manner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s where she\u2019s got to have that mindset with a coach where they agree on how she has to play, what her techniques need to be on the court, and have that clarity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo a little bit of time away without a coach right now, maybe with someone who is just travelling with her, hitting with her, might be a real positive until she finds somebody who she is on the same page with week in and week out, because she hasn\u2019t found that person yet. Hopefully she does.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Emma Raducanu\u2019s results since parting ways with Francisco Roig<\/h2>\n<p>After the Australian Open, Raducanu was a runner-up at the Transylvania Open WTA 250 in Romania \u2014 her first final since she won the 2021 US Open.<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old Brit was then forced to retire in her opening match at the Qatar Open before she suffered a first round loss at the Dubai Championships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-former-coach-mark-petchey-one-choice\">Emma Raducanu\u2019s former coach says she has \u2018one choice\u2019 after Francisco Roig split<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emma Raducanu gets candid advice as she is told to copy Roger Federer coaching move Ewan West 17 Feb 2026 3:00 PM Emma Raducanu and Greg Rusedski Former world No 4 Greg Rusedski believes Emma Raducanu could benefit from spending time without a coach in the same way that tennis legend Roger Federer did.
