I always got the impression that she was very thoughtful. And in this sport, that is usually double edged.
What she is, right now, it not what she was. And she knows that.

Word on the street is that Emma Raducanu has hired her 9th coach since that US Open win and it's Francisco Roig. Her current coach Mark Petchey is, checks notes, unable to travel with her full time.

I did read that Petchey's status as coach has always been, checks notes, "unofficial," which is what all her fired coaches should say.

Gauff will continue to work with longtime coach Jean-Christophe "J.C." Faurel and has also brought in Gavin MacMillan, a biomechanics specialist, a source confirmed to ESPN. She was seen alongside both during her practice session Wednesday in New York.
MacMillan previously worked with world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and she has credited him for helping her with her serve, after she famously struggled with the yips in 2022, and with improving her forehand. Gauff has had issues with her serve this summer and had 42 double faults during her three matches at the Canadian Open earlier this month.
