Serena Williams’ former coach Rick Macci has offered to take charge of Emma Raducanu’s fledgling career in a bid to help the Brit become “bulletproof” ahead of her return in 2024. Raducanu has been out of action since April after undergoing double wrist surgery as well as an operation on her ankle and she’s slowly made her return to training on the tennis court.<\/p>\n

But the 21-year-old is still looking for a new coach after splitting with Sebastian Sachs in June. She’s now searching for her sixth coach in two years and recently admitted that part of the reason for the high turnover is because they “haven\u2019t been able to keep up with the questions” she’s been asking.<\/p>\n

Prior to undergoing surgery earlier this year, Raducanu had found it tough to build on the success of winning the US Open back in 2021 as an 18-year-old qualifier. There have been many teenage prodigies in tennis who have struggled to emulate that kind of success later on in their careers.<\/p>\n

Serena Williams remains one of the youngest players to ever win a major after triumphing at the 1999 US Open at the age of 17. Macci helped mould both Williams sisters in their early years between 1991 and 1994 and still continues to shape the future stars of tennis at his tennis academy in Florida.<\/p>\n

And the 68-year-old has admitted he’s reached out to Raducanu’s team to join the coaching list and believes the Briton can follow the same path as Carlos Alcaraz. \u201cI spoke to her agent, but he said her parents deal with coaching appointments,” he told the Telegraph.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a travel coach, people come to me. I can help her mentally and strategically like no other. I don\u2019t know where her head is at, whether there is the hunger and belief there to be the best.<\/p>\n
