Emma Raducanu has decided to reconnect with her previous mentor, Mark Petchey, just days after stating that she is not actively searching for a new coach. This notable development comes as she prepares for the Indian Wells tournament.

Despite her recent comments, "Right now I wouldn't say I'm actively looking for a coach," Raducanu has brought Petchey back into her camp, indicating her readiness to benefit from his expertise. She elaborated on her current situation, stating, "Right now I have Alexis in my corner. He knows me as a person. He knows me as a player."
