Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu announced she has parted ways with coach Sebastian Sachs after just five months.
Another day, another breakup in Emma Raducanu's coaching team.
Raducanu only appointed the former German player in mid-December, but she has announced a parting of the ways.
"I have really enjoyed Seb's coaching and working with him, it's unfortunate that circumstances made it unfeasible for both of us to continue right now and we have decided to part ways," Raducanu tweeted.
"I wish Seb all the best moving forwards."
The 2021 US Open champion is currently sidelined and could miss the entire grass-court season following surgery on her wrists and ankle.
Sachs was her fifth coach in two years, following Nigel Sears, Andrew Richardson, Torben Beltz and Dmitry Tursunov.
The 31-year-old coached Swiss player Belinda Bencic when she won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
His brief stint with Raducanu included the Australian Open in January, but their partnership is now over.
