- I feel at this stage of my career, when I meet top players, that I need someone who has that experience from the WTA tour at a high level, which means that I am looking for someone who has been at that level and knows what required, says Raducanu.

The 18-year-old shocked the tennis world when she became the first qualifier ever to win the US Open.

She also became the first British woman in 44 years to win a grand slam tournament.

Raducanu is considered one of the most exciting talents on the women's side in tennis.

Finding a new coach should not be a problem.

Now she is chasing new successes and believes that she needs a coach with experience from the highest level.

- I think that's exactly what I need.

And especially right now when I'm so new to this, I really need someone who can guide me and who's been through it.

Raducanu breaks up with former Davis Cup player Andrew Richardson, who trained her for the first time already when she was ten years old.
