‘Everyone will go nuts’ – Emma Raducanu warned over major career decision after childhood coach was forced to step away

EMMA RADUCANU has been warned over appointing a new coach. The tennis star is still on the hunt for a new coach after parting ways with Nick Cavaday after 14 months together. Cavaday stepped down from the role for his health and to spend more time at home. Raducanu, 22, has been urged not to rush into a decision over a new trainer. The warning has come from Laura Robson, who insisted that the British No.2 must get the "right person".

She said: "I don't think she's going to rush into it. "Just from an outsider’s point of view, I don’t think she would want to rush into it. "It's got to be the right person because I know if she goes for someone and then ends up changing them again quickly, everyone will go nuts.". Raducanu is currently working with fitness coach Yutaka Nakamura and the temporary Roman Kelecic in Abu Dhabi. Robson, 31, believes that Raducanu can take her time and rely on Nakamura for the time being.

"And she's got Yutaka with her and he’s got huge experience out on tour. "Also he can hit a bit of a ball as well. I mean, he can have a rally, you wouldn’t rely on that. "If he tried to tell you something about your forehand you wouldn’t think ‘Right, what’s he talking about?’".

The world No.56 seems to be taking the approach suggested by Robson, as she has already insisted that she will be patient when making her decision. Ahead of the Abu Dhabi Open, she said: "It’s a decision that I want to take my time with. "I think that’s why I haven’t necessarily jumped into something straight away, because I want to make sure it’s a right fit. "And I think this period where I don’t necessarily have someone is going to tell me a lot. It’s going to teach me a lot, what I want, what I don’t want to look for in the next person.
