Emma Raducanu says it was a “tough” decision to split with coach Torben Beltz after only five months, but is “very confident” in her training.

The US Open champion is seeking her fourth coach in a year after parting ways with German Beltz on Tuesday.

Raducanu, 19, is working with the LTA’s head of women’s coaching Iain Bates in Madrid this week.

“Torben is a great guy. I really enjoyed my time with him on and off the court,” said the world number 11.

Raducanu faces Czech Tereza Martincova in the first round of the Madrid Open on Friday – a player she defeated in the recent Billie Jean King Cup qualifier.
