Emma Raducanu says she will not rush decision on new coach

Emma Raducanu said she will not rush into a decision over appointing a permanent coach as she begins preparations for the grasscourt season ahead of Wimbledon, which commences later this month. The 19-year-old has been without a full-time coach after splitting with German coach Torben Beltz in April. "I want to take my time with this decision," Raducanu told reporters on Monday.

"Nothing has changed. I still have the same people, good people, around me. I don't want to rush into anything.

"Personally, I think I know what I'm doing. I'm trusting what I'm doing and the work I'm doing. I'm still 19 and I've already won a Grand Slam so I can take my time and put things in place because I know my motivation isn't any less." Raducanu shot to stardom last September when, as a qualifier, she stormed to the U.S.

Open title, becoming Britain's first female Grand Slam champion since Virginia Wade in 1977. She has struggled since winning her maiden Grand Slam, but the Briton said she was "not being so hard" on herself despite the sky-high expectations that accompanied her early success. "I'm really enjoying my time right now and also just really believing in the work I'm doing," Raducanu said.
