Emma Raducanu’s agent has defended the player’s approach following criticism over her coaching rotation.
The 20-year-old, who won the US Open at age 18 in 2021, has worked with five coaches in the past two years.
IMG senior vice president Max Eisenbud told The Tennis Podcast that the approach has worked for Raducanu and his father Ian.
“It will probably be like that for the rest of his career. That’s what they’re comfortable with,” he said.
“I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but that’s how they’ve done it, and I think it’s okay to do things differently.”
Raducanu began her career with Nigel Sears, who left shortly after she reached the fourth round of Wimbledon in 2021, before Andrew Richardson guided her to her famous victory at Flushing Meadows.
Torben Beltz was appointed in November 2021 but left in April 2022. He was replaced by Dimitri Tursunov, who warned of “red flags” and potential trouble if Raducanu continued to hear too many voices.
Last month, she separated from Sebastian Sachs.
