The former US Open champion suffered a difficult experience at her most recent tournament in Dubai last week when she was approached by a man displaying what the WTA described as “fixated behaviour” before her second-round defeat to Karolina Muchova.
Welsh has formerly worked with Leylah Fernandez, the player Raducanu beat to win the US Open in 2021, and joined the National Academy at Loughborough three years ago.
Raducanu had been weighing up whether to take a longer break after returning home but has decided to play Indian Wells, one of the biggest tournaments of the year, as planned.
Raducanu’s search for a new full-time coach goes on and she will be supported in Indian Wells by her fitness trainer Yutaka Nakamura and Tom Welsh.
Emma Raducanu will return to action next week at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
