Raducanu rehires US Open-winning coach in surprise before Wimbledon

Emma Raducanu has rehired Andrew Richardson as her coach ahead of Wimbledon, reuniting with the man who guided her to her shock 2021 US Open title, which she won as a qualifier without dropping a single set. The 22-year-old has had seven coaches since first splitting with Richardson after that victory, most recently working with Francisco Roig for six months before parting ways due to differences in on-court philosophy. Raducanu is returning from a two-month absence caused by a post-viral illness that forced her to miss the Miami Open, Madrid Masters, and Italian Open.
