US Open champion Emma Raducanu will train with Johanna Konta’s former coach Esteban Carril this week as the 18-year-old looks for a mentor to guide her during the next phase of her career, British media reported.
Raducanu, who stunned the sporting world when she won the Flushing Meadows title as a qualifier without dropping a set, announced after the grand slam that she would no longer be working with former Davis Cup player Andrew Richardson.
She withdrew from this week’s Kremlin Cup in Moscow after a second-round defeat at the Indian Wells tournament – her first match since winning the US Open crown.
