Andy Roddick believes Emma Raducanu could have great success working with Mark Petchey - "She looked like a top 10 player in Miami"

Although Emma Raducanu has been involved with several coaches over the years to little success, the British star may be able to rediscover her winning form working alongside LTA coach Mark Petchey, says Andy Roddick.

Raducanu burst into the spotlight in 2021, where she won her maiden Grand Slam title at the US Open as a qualifier. However, the 22-year old has had a rollercoaster of a career ever since, cycling through multiple coaches and battling injuries as her ranking has dropped significantly.

After kicking off her 2025 WTA season with a third round showing at the Australian Open, Raducanu suffered several opening round losses in subsequent tournaments. However, the former World No.10 appeared to have rediscovered her form at the Miami Open, where she defeated high-ranked Americans Emma Navarro and Amanda Anisimova en route to a quarterfinal loss to Jessica Pegula.

Raducanu's rise coincided with her decision to work with LTA coach Mark Petchey, who helped trained the former British No.1 during her years as a junior. Although Petchey is not officially part of her coaching team, Roddick believes Raducanu could see a significant improvement if she chooses to work with the former British player.

"They had great results,' said Roddick on an episode of his Served podcast. "She looked great. She looked like a top 10 player in Miami.
"I love that fit. She looked relaxed, she looked very comfortable. I love Mark Petchey, I think he has a great tennis brain."
