Emma Raducanu has teamed up with Rafael Nadal's former coach, Francis Roig, in the lead up to the US Open.
57-year-old Roig was a key part of Nadal's coaching team during all 22 of his Grand Slam victories - at the time, making history before Novak Djokovic broke the Spaniard's record.
The British Number 1 has been working with Mark Petchey on an informal basis, but has now brought Roig into her team full-time.
The pair began working together at the start of the Cincinnati Open - the last WTA tournament before the US Open.
Raducanu's first game in Cincinnati saw her brush aside Olga Danilovic in straight sets 6-3 6-2. The win set her up for a clash against World Number1 Aryna Sabalenka.
Speaking to the media in Ohio, Raducanu said Roig delivers a blunt coaching style she appreciates and hopes it will improve her style of play.
Raducanu shocked all when she won the US Open in 2021, and hopes to win the Cincinnati Open and be a seeded player in New York.

Raducanu's everchanging coaching team
The Brit's coaching staff has been never been consistent - raising questions around what is going on inside her camp.
Since her US Open victory in 2021, Raducanu has had more than seven different coaches.
Her most recent permanent coach Nick Cavadey stepped aside in January for personal reasons, leaving Raducanu without a guide.
Cavadey returned to support Radacanu during her grass-court season. She was knocked out in the third round at Wimbledon, after a tight but ultimately straight sets defeat to Sabalenka.
She also trialled Vladimir Platenik earlier in the year, but that ended after two weeks.
Raducanu has been working with Petchey since March and has seen an upturn in results, however he's still not formally labelled as her coach.
Could bringing in Roig on a formal contract with his previous success be the ticket Radacanu needs to reach more Grand Slam finals?
