Emma Raducanu has cut the coaching cord with Torben Beltz.
The US Open champion announced she's split with Beltz after a six-month partnership.
Alcaraz: No Limits
LTA head of women's coaching Iain Bates is working with Raducanu preparing for next week's Mutua Madrid Open.
"I want to thank Torben for his coaching, professionalism and dedication over the last half a year," Raducanu said. "He has a huge heart and I have enjoyed our strong chemistry during the time together.
"I feel the best direction for my development is to transition to a new training model with the LTA supporting in the interim."
Raducanu struggled during the Sunshine Double bowing in the Indian Wells second round and falling to Katerina Siniakova in her Miami Open. The 19-year-old Briton has posted a 3-2 record on clay this month launching her first Tour-level clay-court campaign reaching last week's Stuttgart quarterfinals where she lost to world No. 1 Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-4. Swiatek went on to win her fourth consecutive championship in Stuttgart.
The ninth-seeded Raducanu will open the Mutua Madrid Open vs. Czech Tereza Martincova with the winner taking on either wild card Marta Kostyuk or talented teenager Clara Tauson in round two.
The Raducanu coaching box has been a bit of a revolving door over the past year.
Before hiring the 45-year-old Beltz, who previously coached Angelique Kerber to Grand Slam titles, Raducanu worked with Andrew Richardson and Nigel Sears.
The then 150th-ranked Raducanu made history as the first qualifier, male or female, to capture a Grand Slam singles championship at the US Open where she worked with Richardson. They split shortly after her Flushing Meadows triumph. Raducanu was working with the veteran Sears when she reached the Wimbledon fourth round last year.
The next coach the world No. 11 hires will be her fourth in the past year.
