Raducanu suffered a disappointing second-round exit at 2026 AO last month, losing to Anastasia Potapova 7-6 (7-3), 6-2. The defeat was made worse by her split from coach Roig, leaving her at a crucial point in her search for stability with coaching as she looks for her 10th coach. Raducanu parted ways with Roig after her exit from the Australian Open. Roig was the ninth person to coach Raducanu since 2021.
