How 'free spirit' Raducanu is thriving without coach

Emma Raducanu has, by her own admission, never been afraid to do things "a little bit differently".

So it feels on brand the British number two has reached the first WTA 1,000 quarter-final of her career without a full-time coach.

Raducanu secured her fourth win in a row at the Miami Open by beating American 17th seed Amanda Anisimova on Monday.

It is the first time the 22-year-old has strung together that many victories in one tournament since the 2021 US Open - when she sealed a fairytale triumph as a teenage qualifier.

"I'd say I'm a bit of a free spirit so I don't need restrictions or being told what to do," Raducanu, ranked 60th in the world, said.
