Emma Raducanu will ignore John McEnroe and stick to guns for her entire career

Emma Raducanu's agent Max Eisenbud has revealed that she will continue to work with many coaches throughout her career, despite advice from John McEnroe. The 20-year-old has had short stints with different people, but a drop in form has raised questions about the plan.

Raducanu parted ways with her fifth manager in less than two years when she parted ways with Sebastien Sachs last month, in what has been a theme throughout her career - for better or for worse. The training method has had a variety of results, from his historic US Open victory to a few miserable displays on the court.

McEnroe is among those who have questioned the rotation, explaining last year, "This idea of ​​a revolving door of coaches, I just don't think it's good for a player, let alone a player at this point in his career. She's changed coaches, three, four or five times, which is incredible for someone who has just won a major tournament."

However, Raducanu's agent Eisenbud has insisted that the tennis world needs to "get used to" how his team operates as they have no intention of straying from the philosophy. He said: "The training situation, good or bad, and that's something that his dad and Emma pretty much control all the training stuff, which was their philosophy all through juniors.

"They haven't had a coach in a long time. You've probably heard of it. For them, it's calm waters, having a coach for five months and moving on to someone else. It's not traditional and not the norm for most to win a Grand Slam and change coaches.

"I think you see players changing coaches all the time, especially on the women's tour. I think people have a hard time understanding how you can get to the fourth round of Wimbledon and then how you don't continue to work with Nigel Sears, who is a great coach and a great guy.

“All the people when she stopped working with Nigel were killing her...then she won the US Open. You were killing her for not staying with Nigel and then she won the US Open. Then she changed coaches again.

"Quite frankly, it was his dad who put together most of the game plans for games." Eisenbud then admitted that the constant change could be seen as negative, but insisted that Raducanu and her family felt it was the most effective way for her to improve and grow. He concluded, “In perspective, it doesn't look great for people who want it wrapped in a perfect arc. I understand that and I see it, but for the family, that's how they did it. People have to get over the fact that this is what they have to do. It will probably be like this for the rest of his career."
