Emma Raducanu will have a new coach in place in time for the 2022 Australian Open.

The US Open champion has been working with coaching candidates on a trial basis in recent weeks. Raducanu split with coach Andrew Richardson following her stunning Flushing Meadows triumph and is seeking a coach with Tour-level experience.

Raducanu, who is playing without a coach in this week's Upper Austria Ladies Linz, says she will have a new coach in time for the Melbourne major.

"I'm here on my own, I'm being my own coach again this week, which I think is really good for me long-term," Raducanu told the media in Linz. "I'm really feeling positive about my coaching situation, it's in a good place. I'll have a coach in place at the Australian Open.

"I had some trials and they went well. I'm really excited to get some good work done in pre-season and we're going to have a really good time for sure. I think my game's going to be moving in the right direction so I'm pretty excited for that."



The 2022 Australian Open starts on January 17th. Raducanu said she's not yet finished the evaluation process of coaching candidates.

"I'm in a very good position. It's just a bit confidential. It's my decision. It's not fully done."
