During this time she travelled to Madrid with Louis Cayer in her corner, the LTA's doubles coach who acted as Raducanu's 'technical consultant'. She fell marginally short of reaching the quarterfinals in a positive week, albeit marred by a back problem in her third-round loss. But after the same ailment pushed her to retire from her first round match in Rome, where she travelled with the LTA's head of women's tennis Iain Bates, Raducanu conceded that she sometimes wished she had someone to tell her what to do. "I want to play every opportunity I have, and probably even when I shouldn't," she said. "Sometimes I feel like I need a voice to, you know, just hold my hand, [say] 'Do this, do that.'" She upped her gym regime before travelling to the French Open later that month. Though she lost in the second round, she was much more upbeat as she looked ahead to the grass-court season. Jane O'Donoghue - Wimbledon 2022 Raducanu's childhood coach Jane O'Donoghue appeared for the first time on the training courts at the All England Club in the week ahead of Wimbledon. A former player and LTA coach, O'Donoghue had previously helped guide Raducanu's development from age 13 to 17, but swapped her tennis career for the city, and now works for the Royal Bank of Canada. She has been described as an "invisible mentor" supporting Raducanu's remarkable rise behind the scenes though. Raducanu was struggling with an abdominal issue ahead of Wimbledon but managed to enlist the in-person help of her long-time confidante O'Donoghue especially for Wimbledon. Raducanu looked relaxed and completely at ease with O'Donoghue despite her physical issues - which was some feat considering the scrutiny on the teenager during the marquee event of the season.

From Nigel Sears through to the departure of Dmitry Tursunov, the US Open champion has had several voices trying to craft her game
Emma Raducanu’s coaching journey has been a rollercoaster ride since she burst onto the scene at Wimbledon in 2021.
The journey to this point, where she finds herself without a full-time coach again after parting ways with Dimitry Tursunov, has seen many changes and interim fixes.
Here is a detailed look back at the past 16 months and where she goes from here.
Englishman and coaching veteran Sears was brought in for a short time to guide Raducanu through her first WTA grass-court season. Having previously worked with Daniela Hantuchova and Ana Ivanovic, Sears also once held the head coaching job for women’s tennis at the LTA and it is understood he applied pressure behind the scenes to help get Raducanu a wild card for Wimbledon.
