Emma Raducanu recently parted ways with coach Nick Cavaday - her sixth full-time coach in under four years - and has been struggling for form ever since

Struggling British tennis star Emma Raducanu recently had to part ways with yet another coach, whose departure has coincided with a significant dip in form for the youngster who can't find a win

Emma Raducanu has suffered a straight-set defeat in the opening round of the Qatar Open. The British No. 2 was downed 6-3, 7-5 by Ekaterina Alexandrova. The defeat marks Raducanu's third first-round exit in three weeks having missed out on a win in both Singapore and Abu Dhabi.

Another week, another early exit for Emma Raducanu – and the inconsistency of her performances underlines the need for her to appoint a coach.

Emma Raducanu needs a stronger mentality to find success on the court, according to Serena Williams' former coach Rick Macci.

Serena Williams’ former coach Rick Macci has identified what he believes is holding Emma Raducanu back amid the Brit’s difficult run of form. Raducanu fell to a 6-3, 7-5 loss to world No 26 Ekaterina Alexandrova in the first round of the WTA 1000 event in Doha on Sunday.

Emma Raducanu’s miserable coachless run continued as she lost in straight sets to Ekaterina Alexandrova, the same Russian she had defeated in the opening round of last month’s Australian Open.
