Emma Raducanu, ranked 24th, is competing at the 2026 Indian Wells Open after a disrupted start to the season due to illness and coaching changes. She has reunited with former coach Mark Petchey on a short-term basis, alongside hitting partner Alexis Canter, to help regain her natural playing style. Raducanu, who has had nine coaching changes since her 2021 US Open win, is avoiding a full-time coach due to concerns over scrutiny and past misalignment with her instincts. She aims to rebuild her tennis identity and improve performance through flexible, temporary guidance. Tim Henman has advised her to focus on physical development to better compete with top players.
