"Emma Raducanu discusses her recent collaboration before the US Open"
In the world of tennis, Emma Raducanu's name continues to make waves. The British star, currently ranked as the world No.1, has recently welcomed a new addition to her team – Francisco Roig. Roig, an experienced coach with a proven track record, has worked with some of the biggest names in the sport, most notably Rafael Nadal, with whom he was part of all 22 of his Grand Slam titles.
Raducanu and Roig have hit it off well, with Raducanu stating that they get along well and have a good fit. This new partnership has seen the pair spending numerous hours practicing together, with Raducanu expressing her enjoyment of this new dynamic.
One area Raducanu is particularly interested in is the introduction of mixed doubles in more Grand Slam tournaments. This interest stems from her recent experiences, having participated in the US Open's mixed doubles event with Carlos Alcaraz. The pair had fun on the court together, and Raducanu has even exchanged messages with Alcaraz outside of tournament play.
As for singles competition, Raducanu is gearing up for her first round match at this year's US Open against Ena Shibahara on Sunday. This will be her first tournament with Roig as her coach, and fans are eager to see how this new partnership will impact her performance.
However, the road to the US Open hasn't been entirely smooth for Raducanu. In the Cincinnati Open, she narrowly lost to Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling match that went to a deciding set and a tiebreaker. This was shortly after Roig joined her team in August 2023. Despite the loss, Raducanu and Roig remain optimistic, citing a balance between work and fun on the court as a key to their success.
Raducanu's journey in tennis has been marked by a series of coaching changes, with seven different coaches in the last four years. However, with Roig's expertise and Raducanu's undeniable talent, fans are hopeful that this partnership could be the one to bring more Grand Slam success to the British star.
