Emma Raducanu has been accused of hiring too many “yes men” after setting her sights on a new coaching partnership with Mark Petchey. The British No. 2 has been without a full-time mentor since January, when Nick Cavaday had to step away for health reasons.
Petchey has been helping out on an “informal” basis over the last few weeks and should join Raducanu at the upcoming Italian Open. Former world No. 9 CoCo Vandeweghe has now explained why their partnership could prove fruitful, claiming some of the Brit’s old coaches had been afraid to rock the boat.
