He can help her become a very good player again," Toni Nadal discusses the new collaboration between Raducanu and Roig
Emma Raducanu recently began a collaboration with Francisco Roig, former coach of Rafael Nadal.
The Spanish coach was spotted in the camp of the world's 35th-ranked player in Cincinnati, where she was eliminated by Aryna Sabalenka despite a strong battle.
Speaking to the BBC, Toni Nadal, who worked with Roig for many years, explained what he can bring to the 2021 US Open winner:
"He is a very good coach, who can help Raducanu improve technically. He pays a lot of attention to that. In today's game, every player hits the ball very fast.
But in the end, tennis is about power and control: when you hit the ball with poor technique, it's hard to place five or six shots in a row in the court.
That's what Francisco explains to the players. I think he can help Raducanu become a very good tennis player again.
