Emma Raducanu Ends Six-Month Partnership With Coach Francis Roig

The split follows her Australian Open exit after she voiced a desire to play a different way.

Overview

  • Raducanu confirmed the decision on Instagram on January 29, thanking Roig after a partnership that began last August and lasted roughly six months.
  • Her camp described the separation as mutual and said the relationship ended on good terms.
  • Post-match remarks in Melbourne pointed to a tactical misalignment, with Raducanu seeking a more aggressive style after recent technical tweaks.
  • Former hitting partner Alexis Canter is set to travel with her to next week’s Transylvania Open in Cluj, where she is expected to be the top seed, before scheduled events in Doha and Dubai.
  • Roig previously spent many years on Rafael Nadal’s coaching team and worked with Matteo Berrettini, while Raducanu’s split continues a pattern of frequent coaching changes since 2021.
