Emma Raducanu is looking for the seventh coach of her career after Nick Cavaday stepped away from her team to focus on his health.

After cutting and changing coaches frequently in the early years of his career, Raducanu formed a close alliance with his former childhood mentor, Cavaday, and he has overseen the most stable period of his career.

“I would like to thank Nick for a great partnership over the last year and a little bit, especially after the surgeries, helped me get back into the top 60 in the world,” said Raducanu, 22. ‘I wish you all the best in your next chapter and we will certainly stay in touch.’

Raducanu, who landed in Singapore on Thursday night ahead of next week’s tournament, is weighing his options but is in no rush to make an appointment.

Cavaday has had issues with his health recently and has missed some tournaments as a result, and said: “I’m very happy to have been able to work with Emma over the last 14 months.”

‘Right now, it is important for me to spend more time at home and prioritize regaining health, which is difficult to achieve with the extensive schedule.

“I’m glad Emma has re-established herself on the tour now with a top 60 ranking and I look forward to seeing what she does from here.”

It’s unfortunate timing for Raducanu, just when he was starting to build a trusted team around him. Fitness coach Yutaka Nakamura joined at the end of last year and may temporarily take on a broader assignment while a new coach is found.
