Emma Raducanu confirmed the latest development in her ongoing coaching saga with the return of Nick Cavaday, the man who decided to step away from the role earlier this year in order to prioritise his own health.
Cavaday oversaw Raducanu’s training session on Sunday at Queen’s and the 2021 US Open champion confirmed that he will team up with her current coach, Mark Petchey, having filled in this week while the latter remains in Paris on television commentary duty.
“I’m happy to see him healthy, first of all,” said Raducanu, who split from Cavaday in January to leave her looking for a seventh full-time coach in three-and-a-half years as a professional.
“I mean, it’s been such a long time since we were last on court together in Australia, and Mark is in Paris commentating, so Nick was around and it was nice to just have a few days with him.”
“I think myself and Emma, we’ve been wanting to play for a while now,” Boulter said on Sunday. “I think we’ve talked about it a lot of times, and unfortunately, it just hasn’t quite happened for various reasons. I think [for the] first week on grass, to get a couple more matches is super important.
