In terms of sport, Emma Raducanu was anything but good at the WTA 250 tournament in Linz: The reigning US Open winner Xinyu Wang had to beat Xinyu Wang 1: 6, 7: 6 (0) and 5: 7 in the second round give. At least off the field, the British had positive news to report.
Because the 18-year-old will work with successful coach Torben Beltz from the coming season. Raducanu confirmed a corresponding report by the "Telegraph" to tennisnet.com after her defeat in Linz.
Before the start of the tournament, Raducanu had said cautiously: "It's a bit confidential. I mean, it's my decision. It's not quite finished yet and yes, it is."
Beltz extremely successful with Kerber
Angelique Kerber only announced the separation from Beltz on Monday. With the 44-year-old, the German top player won the Grand Slam tournaments in Melbourne and New York in 2016, among other things, this season Beltz led the Kiel player back into the top ten.
Beltz will now take on the services of Raducanu - and hope to be able to lead the teenager to more major titles in the next few years.
