Raducanu’s New Coach Reveals Crucial Improvements Needed Before US Open
Emma Raducanu has already revealed what she’s working on with her new coach, Francisco Roig.
Raducanu announced Roig ahead of the Cincinnati Open as she continued her quest to gain seeded entry into the US Open.
The British No. 1 has improved dramatically over the summer, with Raducanu reaching the semi-finals of the Washington Open.
Adding Rafael Nadal’s coach, Roig, has created excitement for Raducanu’s fans, and the Brit has revealed the key thing she’s been working on since his induction.
Emma Raducanu is working on her ‘quality of shots’ with Francisco Roig
Raducanu and Roig have started working together ahead of the Cincinnati Open, although the Brit also revealed they worked together in London ahead of the tournament.
In a new interview, the British No. 1 let slip the main thing she had been working on with Roig in their first days together.

“I’m working on the quality of my shots to be better,” Raducanu told Sky Sports about working with Francisco Roig. “I think against the very top, that’s what it needs, it needs to improve.
“So I’m hoping with time, I’m pretty patient, I’m going to try and be pretty patient, that it will improve,” she added.
Raducanu has a bye in the first round of the Cincinnati Open, and she’ll play either Katie Boulter or Olga Danilović in the second round.
Emma Raducanu’s projected route at the Cincinnati Open
Raducanu’s partnership with Roig could not begin in a trickier way, as the British star has been handed an incredibly tough side of the draw at the Cincinnati Open.
Should Raducanu navigate past her fellow Brit Boulter, she’ll be rewarded with a match against World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka defeated Raducanu at Wimbledon this year, so the British star will be looking for revenge if she makes it to the third round.
The British star is also in the same section as Washington Open champion Leylah Fernandez and Venus Williams.
