Emma Raducanu has started working with Yutaka Nakamura, the fitness coach known for his work with Maria Sharapova and Naomi Osaka.
The 22-year-old, who will fly to Brisbane next week for some warm weather training before the new season, says Nakamura will be with her "pretty much most weeks" of the year.
Injuries have acted as a persistent handbrake on Raducanu's career since she won the US Open as a teenager in 2021.
But following a trial earlier in the autumn, she feels now is the right time to add a dedicated fitness expert to her team.
