Raducanu 'not actively looking' for new coach, focused on adopting a more 'aggressive' style

[p]The British tennis player has gone through several coaches in a relatively short career, with Francisco Roig the latest to leave the role after the Spaniard spent six months working with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/raducanu-emma/YmIZde1B/"]Raducanu[/a].[/p][p]The 23-year-old was outspoken after a second-round loss to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/potapova-anastasia/x81l09qG/"]Anastasia Potapova[/a] at the Australian Open, saying she wanted to be playing "in a way more similar to when I was younger".[/p][p]In Raducanu's next tournament in Romania, she reached her first final since the stunning US Open triumph in 2021 and she insisted she remains happy working with hitting partner Alexis Canter, a 27-year-old former British player who reached a career-high ranking of 779 last year.[/p][p][b]"Right now I wouldn't say I'm actively looking for a coach," [/b]Raducanu told the Guardian.[/p][p][b]"I have Alexis in my corner. He knows me as a person. He knows me as a player and I've actually had some success with him in the past year. So it's going well.[/b][/p][p][b]"I know the drills that I need to be doing... just repetition of doing those key fundamentals. I think I want to go back to that and a more aggressive style of playing."[/b][/p][embed guid="d166553a-978a-48dd-a21f-8789fa007ef8" url="https://x.com/tntsports/status/2026244863923032356?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p]Raducanu's run to the final in Cluj-Napoca - where she won just two games against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/cirstea-sorana/fBPsm3Iq/"]Sorana Cirstea[/a] - came at the cost of contracting a virus she struggled to shake off while losing in the first round of two tournaments in the Middle East.[/p][p]"I had really long effects for the last three weeks," she said. "I've been trying to clear them. So the Middle East trip was very difficult for me.[/p][p][b]"I'm getting ready for Indian Wells and just trying to get back to full health. And I still have a bit of time, so I'm just looking forward to doing my best to be ready for that."[/b][/p][p]Despite her recent setbacks, Raducanu remains 25th in the world rankings heading into the WTA tournament in Indian Wells, California, starting on March 4th.[/p]
