Emma Raducanu returns to US Open-winning coach five years on from New York triumph

  • Emma Raducanu has officially reunited with her US Open-winning coach, Andrew Richardson, with the partnership commencing immediately as she prepares for her return to action in Strasbourg.
  • Richardson will join Raducanu in Strasbourg next week, marking her comeback after a two-month absence due to illness, ahead of the French Open later this month.
  • Raducanu had previously faced criticism for parting ways with Richardson shortly after her US Open triumph in New York five years ago, stating at the time she needed a coach with WTA Tour experience.
  • The 23-year-old British No 1 expressed gratitude for reconnecting with someone she has known for over a decade, aiming to build together “one iteration at a time”.
  • Raducanu, who will likely drop to 37th in the rankings next week, will not be seeded at Roland Garros and has taken a wild card into Strasbourg to gain clay-court experience.
