Raducanu Advances to Miami Open Second Round, Parts Ways with Coach

The British tennis star defeated Sayaka Ishii in a dominant performance but continues her search for stability after ending a brief coaching trial.

Emma Raducanu secured a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Japanese wildcard Sayaka Ishii in the first round of the Miami Open, marking her first main-draw win at the tournament.
Raducanu showcased improvements in her serve and overall game, winning 77% of her first-serve points and committing only one double fault during the match.
She will face eighth seed Emma Navarro in the second round, a challenging match against an in-form opponent who recently won a WTA 500 title in Mexico.
Raducanu ended her trial with coach Vladimir Platenik after just 14 days, citing that the partnership was not progressing as hoped.
The 2021 US Open champion continues to navigate a turbulent period in her career, dealing with frequent coaching changes, injuries, and personal challenges.
