Emma Raducanu to appoint Torben Beltz as new coach

When Emma Raducanu split with her coach after the US Open many people took an interest on how might the young superstar hire next. Raducanu has been one of the hottest topics in tennis ever since she made that historic run at the US Open. As a future superstar of the game Raducanu has many fans wondering where her career will take her and an important part of that journey will be her coach.

After numerous names were reported in the past weeks it seems now we know who the next coach will be. Sources close to the Brit are reporting she is set to hire Torben Beltz as her new coach. The German has famously worked with Angelique Kerber before. He has had three spells with Kerber, running from 2004 to 2013, then 2014 to the end of 2017 - when the German won both her major titles and reached world No 1 - and most recently from July 2020 until this week.

Kerber announced that she has split with Beltz as she wants to take “more responsibility”, a move that paves the way for Beltz to join Raducanu’s coaching team this off-season. The Daily Telegraph report that Beltz has met with Raducanu and her agent, Chris Helliar, near her home in Orpington last month.
