Marion Bartoli has urged Emma Raducanu to copy Aryna Sabalenka\u2019s approach and maintain a long-term relationship with her next coach.<\/p>\n<p>World No 28 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/emma-raducanu\">Raducanu<\/a> is currently without a permanent coach, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanus-full-statement-as-she-confirms-francisco-roig-split\">following her split from Francisco Roig after a disappointing Australian Open campaign in January<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Brit and Roig had only started working together last August, and Raducanu\u2019s split from the Spaniard was the latest in a long line of ultimately short-lived partnerships.<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/fed-cup\/iga-swiatek-latest-schedule-decision-described-as-very-smart-by-serena-williams-former-coach\">Iga Swiatek

11th<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since making her WTA Tour debut in 2021, the former US Open champion has worked with a string of coaches, including, but not exclusively, Andrew Richardson, Torben Beltz, and Dmitry Tursunov, with her partnership with Nick Cavaday the only one to last longer than last year.<\/p>\n<p>In the aftermath of her split from Roig, Raducanu has worked with long-time confidantes Alexis Canter and Mark Petchey, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-telling-coaching-comments-indian-wells-2026\">and revealed earlier in March that she was not focused on looking for \u201cone coach\u201d to step in and work with her<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, former world No 7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/marion-bartoli\">Bartoli<\/a> believes this is the wrong approach and has urged Raducanu to look to Sabalenka for inspiration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/aryna-sabalenka\">Sabalenka<\/a> has been coached by Anton Dubrov since 2020, and has gone on to reach world No 1 and win four Grand Slam singles titles under his guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/tennis\/news\/12110\/13525970\/emma-raducanu-marion-bartoli-urges-british-star-to-take-leaf-out-of-aryna-sabalenkas-coaching-book\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Sky Sports<\/em><\/a>, Bartoli claimed that Raducanu would not improve if she were unable to stick with a coach for a long-term period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Emma to keep changing coaches is a difficult topic because you need to have some sort of stability,\u201d said Bartoli.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you look at the coaching system, Sabalenka has had the same coach for such a long period of time, and I think for Emma it\u2019s about trying to find the right fit!<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cI do strongly believe she will need to find someone she can trust for a long period of time if she wants to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following her split from Roig, Raducanu reached her first final since the 2021 US Open at the Transylvania Open in Cluj this February.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Brit sustained an illness that affected her across the Middle East swing, and which then saw her withdraw from the Miami Open after a disappointing Indian Wells campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Raducanu has not yet confirmed or announced any new coaching hire, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/linz-open-2026-entry-list-four-grand-slam-winners-will-raducanu-and-eala-be-seeded\">but she is set to return to action at the WTA 500 Linz Open next week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It will be the 23-year-old\u2019s first clay-court event of 2026, with Raducanu then set to play the WTA 1000 events in Madrid and Rome before the second Grand Slam event of the season at Roland Garros.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?
