Reports: Raducanu Hires Physio Emma Stewart for 2026, With Temporary S&C Duties

The hire targets improved on‑tour care after an illness‑hit finish capped by a foot bruise.

Overview

British outlets report that Emma Stewart will travel with Emma Raducanu to multiple events and temporarily oversee her strength and conditioning.
Stewart previously worked as a tour-provided physiotherapist on the WTA and earned recognition for her role with Great Britain’s men’s rowing squad.
Francisco Roig, who joined Raducanu’s team in 2025, is expected to continue working with her into 2026.
The staff change follows a mid-2025 parting with strength coach Yutaka Nakamura and offseason withdrawals from two U.S. exhibitions due to a foot issue.
Raducanu finished 2025 ranked No. 29 and is slated to open 2026 at the United Cup as she targets an Australian Open seeding.
