Emma Raducanu: the marriage is already over

Emma Raducanu is changing coaches again: the British tennis player, currently 29th player in the WTA ranking, has in fact announced on her social media the end of her collaboration with Francisco Roig: “Thank you for the time we shared – wrote the 2021 US Open winner -. You have been much more than a coach for me and I will cherish all the good times we had together, on and off the court”.

The 23-year-old had signed the experienced Spaniard, former world number 60, in August 2025. A former collaborator with Toni Nadal on Rafael Nadal’s team from 2005 to 2022, Roig, 57, had become the eighth coach for Raducanu, who had changed several coaches since her surprising victory at Flushing Meadows. “Although we decided together that it was best not to continue – she concluded in her post – know that I am deeply grateful to you for everything you have taught me”.

In the meantime, Aryna Sabalenka will play ka final again at the Australian Open. The world and seeded number one overwhelmed Elina Svitolina, number 12 in the WTA rankings and seeding (6-2 6-3) after just over an hour and a quarter of play centering the last act of the Australian Major for the fourth consecutive year. She is only the third player in the Open era to reach this milestone after Evonne Goolagong and Martina Hingis.

From a champion to a’former champion: Justine Henin does not see how Novak Djokovic can overtake Jannik Sinner and make it to the final of the Australian Open in Melbourne but at the same time leaves more than one door open to the possibility of the Slavic champion continuing his adventure in the land of kangaroos. “It seems more than complicated to think that the Serb can make it – the former racquet star told from the microphones of Eurosport -If Sinner has no physical problems, I don’t see in any way Novak capable, from an athletic point of view, of putting pressure on Jannik. I want to believe that Novak can win, I would like to see him win his 25th Grand Slam title, but it will be so hard”.

“Nole continues to give so much to tennis and make history in tournaments, albeit in different ways. I still want to see him shine, but when you see the speed of Alcaraz’s game and what Sinner produced against Shelton, for me it seems impossible. The reality of the court is often different, though: what happens there and many other factors can change the dynamics of a match” added the Belgian.
