Bartoli and Henman Urge Raducanu to Commit to a Long-Term Coach and Build Fitness

Overview

• Marion Bartoli told Sky Sports that Emma Raducanu should stop switching coaches and mirror Aryna Sabalenka’s long-term partnership model.
• Tim Henman said Raducanu needs greater strength and durability to withstand big hitters, citing Amanda Anisimova and world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka as benchmarks.
• Raducanu has no permanent coach after a January split with Francisco Roig and is leaning on Mark Petchey and Alexis Canter for short-term support.
• The world No. 28 plans a return at the WTA 500 in Linz, then targets the clay events in Madrid and Rome before Roland Garros.
• This season has brought a blood-pressure check during a heavy loss to Sorana Cirstea, a withdrawal in Qatar, a defeat in Dubai, and a two-game loss to Amanda Anisimova at Indian Wells.
