Emma Raducanu's search for a new full-time coach continues as she recently split with her coach Nick Cavaday. Rennae Stubbs, a former coach of Serena Williams, has expressed her interest in working with Raducanu amidst her concerning form.
The young Brit is currently facing the worst losing streak of her career, with a first-round exit at the Qatar Open adding to her recent losses. Even though she showed some promise with a third-round run at the Australian Open, she has been struggling to maintain that momentum. Cavaday stepped down from his role due to health reasons after the Grand Slam, and Raducanu is still on the lookout for a new coach.
Stubbs, a former doubles major champion, has thrown her name into the mix, stating that she would be open to working with a Grand Slam champion like Raducanu. She believes that the key to a successful coaching partnership is understanding the player's goals and approach. Stubbs would start by having an honest conversation with Raducanu about her aspirations and then work towards achieving them.
In her previous role as Williams' coach during the 2022 US Open, Stubbs learned the importance of setting realistic goals and not getting carried away with immediate success. She believes that it's crucial to have a clear understanding of what Raducanu wants and how they can work together to achieve it.
However, Raducanu is in no rush to appoint a new coach, as she wants to make sure it's the right fit. She sees this period without a coach as an opportunity to learn more about herself and what she values in a coach. She plans to take her time in making a decision and is using the next few weeks to evaluate her options.
Ultimately, Raducanu's focus is on finding the right coach who can help her reach her full potential and guide her through this challenging phase of her career. And with experienced coaches like Stubbs expressing their interest, it's clear that she has a bright future ahead.
