Ex-coach of the former world number one Andy Murray, Mark Petchey, has raised concerns about Emma Raducanu after some disappointing performances recently.

Emma Raducanu only managed to reach the round of 32 at the Australian Open with the 22-year-old having been some given some advice by Andy Murray’s former coach Mark Petchey

Emma Raducanu's former coach, Mark Petchey, thinks there's nothing wrong with the tennis star's work ethic following her recent defeat to Cristina Bucsa at the Singapore Open. Raducanu lost a three-hour epic on Monday against an opponent ranked 101 in the world.

Petchey, who previously worked as a coach with Andy Murray, has long publicly backed the 22-year-old despite her struggles ever since her remarkable success at Flushing Meadows. But despite the 54-year-old rejecting suggestions that the physical and mental side of her game is still lacking, he does believe her overall game has regressed.

Emma Raducanu has sent a positive message following her opening round exit in Singapore as she prepares for a swift return to action. The 22-year-old was beaten 7-5, 5-7, 5-7 by world No 101 Cristina Bucsa at the WTA 250 tournament in Singapore.

Emma Raducanu was the dream signing for sponsors after her 2021 US Open win - but a new teenager is now getting the big deals.
