Emma Raducanu to compete at Indian Wells alongside interim coach as search for a full-time mentor goes on
WTA
British tennis star Emma Raducanu will be making her return to the WTA tour at the upcoming Indian Wells Open, where she intends to compete using a temporary coach.
The 2021 US Open champion has been unable to keep a steady coach since winning her maiden Grand Slam title at Flushing Meadows a few years ago. Furthermore, injuries and exhaustion have played a role in her dip in form since clinching the title in New York.
Raducanu hoping to bounce back with new coaching team
The 22-year old will be teaming with LTA academy coach Tom Welsh during her stay at the desert WTA 1000 event. Additionally, Raducanu will be training with fitness expert Yutaka Nakamura, who worked with five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova during her distinguished career.
Raducanu spent a significant amount of the 2024 season sidelined due to injury. The former World No.10 cut her season short in September, citing several lingering ailments. The British star returned at the 2025 Australian Open, where she lost in the third round to World No.2 Iga Swiatek.
It is unknown if the collaboration between Raducanu and Welsh will go on past Indian Wells, although there are reports that her search for a full-time coach is still ongoing.

- Lena does not need a special coach. She is not the same person she once was. Look at your photos -- when is the last time you saw that smile and sparkle in her eyes? When is the last time you saw her family in attendance? I believe it was once this season; sister Ana accompanied her to Australia. Perhaps Lena needs time away from tennis; time with professional help? If nothing else, her family should hold an intervention to snap her out of the hold Vukov has on her. It's sad to watch her lose matches she should be winning. Sadder still to see her vacuous facial expressions.mandoist24-02-2025
