That takes time to relearn because that\u2019s something that has been coached out of me a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t necessarily want to have one coach in the role because anyone I bring in is straight away going to be scrutinised \u2014 even if it\u2019s a trial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI might feel the pressure to stick with them, even if it\u2019s not necessarily the right decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would love to have a coach that works well, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessarily going to be easy to find one person and they are going to check every box.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely have my mind open to it. It\u2019s just that I would rather someone not come in and tell me \u2018let\u2019s do this\u2019, and I disagree with it but have to listen to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far Alexis [Canter] has been really good, but I am definitely going to tap into a few people here and there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/indian-wells-2026-withdrawal-list-dubai-medvedev-rublev-khachanov-confirmed\">Indian Wells Open withdrawal list: 19 players out as Medvedev, Rublev &amp; Khachanov\u2019s presence confirmed<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emma Raducanu says her \u2018natural\u2019 game has been \u2018coached out\u2019 of her in telling comments Ewan West 05 Mar 2026 2:00 PM Emma Raducanu at a press conference Emma Raducanu has said her \u201cnatural way of playing\u201d has been \u201ccoached out\u201d of her and divulged that she will \u201ctap into a few people\u201d rather than [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-1808898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1808898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1808898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1808898\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1808898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1808898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1808898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
