Emma Raducanu assisted by former British No 1 Jeremy Bates at Indian Wells
The Guardian says Emma Raducanu will be assisted by the former British men’s No 1 Jeremy Bates when her campaign at Indian Wells begins later this week.
The new US Open champion, who ended her partnership with coach Andrew Richardson after her unexpected success at Flushing Meadows, was seen practising at the weekend in California with Bates, the head of national women’s tennis for the LTA, in the background.
While the 59-year-old was already at Indian Wells in his role as coach to fellow Briton Katie Boulter, who will play in the qualifying tournament, Bates has confirmed he will also be helping Raducanu. The arrangement is temporary with the 18-year-old not expected to appoint a permanent coach before the end of the year.
