Emma Raducanu is on the hunt for a new coach and someone who once worked with Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova is reportedly the leading candidate to take the gig. Yesterday the shock news emerged that the Brit split with Torben Beltz after just five months working with him.
Now according to the Express , Riccardo Piatti appears to be the leading candidate to take over and he has previously worked with some impressive players. The Italian, who has worked with world No 1 Djokovic and five-time grand slam champion Sharapova, could assume the head coaching role at the head of the team without being full-time on the road.
Piatti, who is currently at a coaching conference in Athens, split with world No 12 Jannick Sinner in February. Raducanu trained at his Italian academy earlier this month and if he were to join the teen’s team, it could likely be on a part-time basis and he seems keen on the idea of working with one of sport's brightest talents.
