The British tennis player is going through a rough patch in her career. Her former coach, Dmitry Tursunov, has made the decision to leave Raducanu after guiding her since this summer. Billie Jean King voiced concern for the young player and gave her a piece of advice. She stated, “I hope she gets people she can trust, who have no agenda.” Furthermore, she raised her concern and said, “She needs to get away from people who have agendas, like ‘I wanna coach you, I wanna do this’ forget that.”

“She needs to be herself and she’s very bright, actually very level-headed. I’m really impressed with her as a human being,” added King.

Her former coach is now working with the Swiss star, Belinda Bencic. Many fans of the British star accused him of leaving Raducanu to switch over to another player.
