As Emma Raducanu is thriving Miami Open without a full -time coach

Whether he has won a Grand Slam title as an unknown rookie, using a carousel of coaches or adapting his program outside the accepted norm, Raducanu regularly does what he thinks is right for her.

That it does not always work For the best, but continues to remain faithful to his beliefs.

The end of a short -lived partnership with the Slovak coach Vladimir Platenik on the eve of this tournament was another decision that was initially encountered by surprise.

But his race on the hard fields of Miami – a faster surface that adapts to his style – suggests the move He made his fruits.

Raducanu played with a freedom and trust seen only sporadically from his splendid US success.

“I feel when I am unbalanced in a reitioned way, so I am not able to express myself in the same way,” said Raducanu to Sky Sports.

In Florida she was led by Mark Petchey, a well -known figure in British tennis clubs who worked with her as a teenager.

Petchey, who trained Andy Murray in his days of salad on the ATP tour, gave pointers to the practice courts and offering coaching advice from the Raducanu box.

Petchey worked alongside the longtime ally of Raducanu Jane O’Donoghue and the fitness coach Yutaka Nakamura.

What Raducanu describes how a “different approach” brought the emphasis on having fun in the right moments, with shorter, less intense practice and heating sessions.

“This week was a great opening for the eyes just when I am happy and expressive and myself,” said Raducanu.

“Having people I have known for a long time, before the United States, is the most precious thing for this week at least.”
