Emma Raducanu has appointed Sebastian Sachs as her new coach.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
The 30-year-old German, who guided Belinda Bencic to Olympic gold last year, has started working with the Briton, last year’s US Open champion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Sachs is in Abu Dhabi with Raducanu, who lost on Friday to Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur 5-7 6-3 (10-8) in an exhibition match on her injury return. <\/span><\/p>\n
The German had a brief career as a player on the Futures tour, but has enjoyed plenty of success as a coach.<\/span><\/p>\n
Before helping Bencic into the world’s top 10, he worked with Julia Gorges and before that as part of Victoria Azarenka’s team.<\/span><\/p>\n
Sachs will be Raducanu’s fifth coach in 18 months. This year, the 20-year-old Briton has worked with first Torben Beltz and then Dmitry Tursunov.<\/span><\/p>\n
Tursunov decided not to continue the partnership after this year’s US Open, despite Raducanu’s improved performances since Wimbledon.<\/span><\/p>\n
The Russian spoke in late October of “red flags” and potential problems further down the line if she continued to listen to too many voices.<\/span><\/p>\n
“She’s probably a two-and-a-half-year project. Her game is very raw,” the 39-year-old Tursunov told <\/span>tennismajors.com.<\/span>
