Emma Raducanu: UK coaches are set to “work well” but with the start of the Italian Open, the puzzle is not complete yet

The goal is to find someone who can take on a support role for Petchey, who has a broadcast commitment throughout the year.

“I just have to deal with that person,” Lakanu added.

During pasture season, Petchey will be able to spend more time going to Ladanu, and the work they do on the driving range is not purely targeting the clay court.

Raducanu lost to Marta Kostyuk in the second round of Madrid Open in April and said she didn't necessarily feel very comfortable on the surface.

“I feel a little better than Madrid's,” she said.

“I want to use this time of clay season to try to work on something in the game, and I think that will help me narrow the gap to the next level.

“I want to get more balls, I want to be more aggressive in some ways – I want to build more points based on my own opinions.

“I know I might make more mistakes, but I’m willing to go through them.”

World No. 49 Raducanu began a campaign against the qualifiers on Wednesday.
