Emma Raducanu has shared her desire for a potential Andy Murray link-up ahead of their opening matches in Indian Wells. The world No 13 is hoping to go further after losing her opening match last year in the wake of her split with coach Andrew Richardson after her US Open win.
“I feel like his insight and knowledge would be really helpful and I’d love to hear it.”
Hinting that the US Open champion was describing a potential new coach, the tournament wrote: “A player-coach do we’d love to see.”
Both Raducanu and Murray have arrived in the Californian desert five months later with new coaches.
The 19-year-old enlisted Torben Beltz over the off-season after arriving without a coach in October and seeking advice from LTA mentor Jeremy Bates, who at the time travelled with Katie Boulter for qualifying.
Meanwhile, Murray recently announced he’d be reuniting with Ivan Lendl for a third stint at the conclusion of the Sunshine Double.
The 34-year-old split with long-time coach Jamie Delgado in the off-season and has remained coachless after ending a trial period with Jan De Witt after a disappointing second-round Aussie Open loss.
After Indian Wells and the Miami Open, the world No 88 will stay in Miami for a training block with his former coach – an eight-time Grand Slam champion in his own right – as he opts to skip the clay-court swing.
Murray previously worked with Lendl from 2011-2014 and 2016-2017, with all three of his Grand Slam titles, his two Olympic gold medals and his ascent to world No 1 coming under the Czech-born American.
