New Delhi: British tennis star Emma Raducanu is looking for a new coach following the departure of Nick Cavaday, who stepped down from his role to focus on his health. The announcement marks the end of a productive 14-month partnership that saw the 22-year-old return to prominence on the WTA Tour after a challenging period marred by injuries and surgeries.
Cavaday, a former childhood coach of Raducanu, rejoined her team shortly before the 2024 Australian Open. Known for his steady guidance and familiarity with Raducanu’s game, he played a pivotal role in helping her rebound from wrist and ankle surgeries that had sidelined her for much of 2023.
Under his mentorship, Raducanu climbed back into the world’s top 60, showcasing glimpses of the form that saw her win the 2021 US Open as a teenage qualifier.
Reflecting on their time together, Raducanu expressed gratitude to Cavaday. “I’d like to thank Nick for a great partnership over the last year and a bit, especially post-surgeries. I wish him all the best in his next chapter, and no doubt we’ll stay in touch,” Raducanu was quoted by BBC Sports as saying. IANS
