U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu splits with coach Torben Beltz

LONDON: U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu has split with German coach Torben Beltz after working with him for five months, the BBC reported on Tuesday.

Raducanu appointed Beltz as her coach in November after she had parted ways with Andrew Richardson following her surprise triumph at Flushing Meadows, where she became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam.

The 19-year-old said she needed "a new training model" and that Britain's Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) would support her in the interim.

"I want to thank Torben for his coaching, professionalism and dedication over the last half a year," the BBC quoted her as saying in a statement.

"He has a huge heart and I have enjoyed our strong chemistry during the time together." Agencies
