Sachs, 30, who led Belinda Bencic to Olympic Gold last year, has commenced working with Raducanu, who emerged champion of last year’s US Open.

Germen tennis coach, Sachs, is in Abu Dhabi currently with Raducanu, current British Number one, who on Friday fell to Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur 5-7 6-3 (10-8) in an exhibition match on her return from injury.

The German who has enjoyed ample success as a coach recorded a brief career as a player.

Sebastian Sachs will be Emma Raducanu’s fifth coach in eighteen months.

After her season ended prematurely due to a wrist injury, Raducanu has only been able to make a return to full training in the past ten days.
