Emma Raducanu splits with coach Francis Roig after Australian Open exit

British number one Emma Raducanu has split with coach Francis Roig after her exit from the Australian Open.

The 23-year-old lost to Austria’s Anastasia Potapova in straight sets in the second round at Melbourne Park.

Raducanu and Roig – who helped Rafael Nadal win 16 of his 22 major titles – began working together in August.

“Thank you for our time together,” Raducanu posted on Instagram.

“You have been more than a coach to me and I will cherish the many good times we spent together on and off the court.

“While we have come to the conclusion together that we ought not to move forward, please know I am very grateful for all you have taught me and fond of our time shared.”

Roig’s departure means the 2021 US Open champion is searching for the 10th coach of her career.
