Raducanu says it is ‘unfeasible to continue’ during breakBritish No 1 is now seeking her sixth coach in two years
Emma Raducanu has split with her coach, Sebastian Sachs, as she recovers from recent surgery on her wrists and ankle. The 2021 US Open champion is currently sidelined and could miss most of the season following the surgery, making it “unfeasible” for Raducanu to continue working with the German former player, whom she appointed in December of last year.
Raducanu tweeted: “I have really enjoyed Seb’s coaching and working with him, it’s unfortunate that circumstances made it unfeasible for both of us to continue right now and we have decided to part ways. I wish Seb all the best moving forwards.”
Sachs was Raducanu’s fifth coach in two years, after Nigel Sears, Andrew Richardson, Torben Beltz and Dmitry Tursunov. The 31-year-old, who coached the Swiss player Belinda Bencic to a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, worked with Raducanu at the Australian Open in January.
