SPLITTING HEADACHE

Emma breaks with THIRD coach since Wimbledon and may now use short-term specialist advisors

EMMA RADUCANU is looking for a fourth head coach since shooting to fame at last summer's Wimbledon.

And Riccardo Piatti is a leading candidate to take the role perhaps on a part-time basis after the US Open champion trained at his Italian academy earlier this month.

Piatti said: “It depends. I am interested in working with everyone."

The British No.1 yesterday announced she was splitting with German Torben Beltz after only five months and six tournaments together.

And the Bromley teenager said she now plans to play under a "new training model” which could see her work on a short-term basis with different coaches on different surfaces. Raducanu spent a week at Piatti's Bordighera academy in Liguria before her first-ever professional events on clay.
