Raducanu Reunites With Coach Andrew Richardson

Richardson's return aims to restore fitness, match rhythm, confidence for Raducanu before Roland Garros.

Overview

  • Raducanu confirmed this week that she has formally reunited with Andrew Richardson, who coached her during her 2021 US Open title run.
  • She told reporters that she split with Richardson after the 2021 win because she felt overwhelmed and was being “pulled left, right,” and said reuniting brings back a sense of trust.
  • Commentators including Alex Corretja and Tim Henman welcomed the decision as a move that could boost her psychology and help rebuild consistency.
  • Raducanu remains in a rebuilding phase with fitness and match rhythm as priorities, she is unseeded at Roland Garros and has limited recent match play on clay.
  • Her return to Richardson follows several short coaching stints and periods out with injury and illness, and the partnership is meant as a longer-term attempt to restore form and climb back up the rankings.
