Emma Raducanu ‘excited' to be working with Rafael Nadal's ex-coach Francis Roig
The 22-year-old has worked with British coach Mark Petchey on an informal basis since March and has now added Roig to her team.
Spanish coach Roig worked alongside Nadal and with Nadal's uncle Toni for the majority of his career, where he won 22 grand slams.
Speaking about teaming up with Roig, Raducanu told Sky Sports: 'It's going really well, it's my second day here with him here, but I did a few days in London before I came out here.
'He's obviously got a bank of experience and I'm very excited to continue working with him and to have him on my side.'
Roig joins Raducanu's coaching set-up as she continues preparations for the US Open, the tournament she won in 2021.
Recently, the Briton followed a round-three exit to Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon with a semi-final showing at the Citi Open, where she was eventually beaten by Anna Kalinskaya.
Up next for Raducanu is the Cincinnati Open, where she received a bye in the first round and will face either fellow Briton Katie Boulter or Olga Danilovic.
The US Open begins later in August and Raducanu revealed that she is working with Roig on certain areas to improve.
She added: 'I'm working on the quality of my shots to be better. I think against the very top that's what it needs, it needs to improve.
'So I'm hoping that with time – I'm pretty patient, I'm going to try and be pretty patient – that it'll improve.'

Zverev rolls past home hope into Cincinnati third round, Shelton advances
Aug 10 (Reuters) - German third seed Alexander Zverev swatted aside home hope Nishesh Basavareddy 6-3 6-3 in the second round of the Cincinnati Open on Sunday, as Canadian Open winner Ben Shelton advanced when Argentina's Camilo Ugo Carabelli retired injured. The 2021 champion Zverev never faced a break and closed out the evening programme on the Grandstand with one of a dozen aces across the match, as he tuned out the rowdy U.S. crowd that was squarely in his opponent's corner. He will meet American Brandon Nakashima in the third round. Fresh off winning the biggest title of his career in Toronto, American Shelton was up a set and a break when Ugo Carabelli stopped short and clutched his knee in pain in the fourth game of the second set. The Argentine tried to play on after taking a medical timeout but could not continue, clearing a path for Shelton to next face Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut, who beat Briton Cam Norrie 6-4 6-3 earlier in the day. Carlos Alcaraz bounced back from a mid-match slump to down Bosnian Damir Dzumhur 6-1 2-6 6-3, as he hopes to keep his extraordinary run on track after reaching the finals of his last six tournaments. After a routine start, the second-ranked Spaniard racked up an uncharacteristic number of unforced errors in the second set before regaining his composure, outfoxing his opponent at the net before closing it out with a solid forehand shot. "I have to be better, for sure. I started the match really well, feeling the ball pretty good," Alcaraz, who next faces Serbia's Hamad Medjedovic, told the Tennis Channel. "I just want to feel much better in the next round." Second seed Coco Gauff overcame early problems on serve to cruise past China's Wang Xinyu 6-3 6-2, keeping her composure despite eight double faults in the first set to book a meeting with Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska in the third round. The 2023 champion converted on all five break point chances she got on Center Court and was firing on all cylinders as she won 20 of her last 23 points on serve. "I had a shaky start with the serve but I was able to push through and figure that out," Gauff told the Tennis Channel. "Just taking my time and remembering the things we worked on in practice and just trying not to, I guess, fall into the same old patterns." Gauff's compatriot and former doubles partner, fourth seed Jessica Pegula, eased past Australian Kimberly Birrell 6-4 6-3, on a day with few upsets at the U.S. Open tune-up tournament. American Reilly Opelka got the home crowd going as he overcame the Australian sixth seed Alex de Minaur 7-6(6) 6-4, while Australian Adam Walton knocked out the 2019 winner Daniil Medvedev 6(0)-7 6-4 6-1 in another surprise result.

Arne Slot says Liverpool ‘need to be better' after Community Shield defeat
After his Liverpool team lost the Community Shield in a penalty shootout to Crystal Palace, their manager, Arne Slot admitted the difficulty of bedding in the summer's new signings. 'Sometimes you need some time to adapt offensively or defensively,' said Slot. Two new arrivals in striker Hugo Ekitiké and right-back Jeremie Frimpong got on the scoresheet but Palace, who might have won the game in normal time during their impressive second-half showing, exposed the Premier League champions' weaknesses. Florian Wirtz in a No 10 role and Milos Kerkez as an overlapping left-back on the opposite side of Frimpong made for a highly attacking Liverpool lineup. 'In the whole pre-season we saw we are able to create more opportunities, chances, we dominate maybe even more,' said Slot. 'Now we are better in creating and getting promising situations than we were in the whole of last season but it is also true that we have conceded two against [Athletic Club] Bilbao and two again today. 'We need to be better defensively,' Slot admitted: 'It is disappointing of course, if you go in front and you are not able to win the game. It was close and there were points where I thought we could win it but it went to penalties and they were better in that moment.' Slot refused to panic before his team's defence of the Premier League title, which kicks off on Friday against Bournemouth. He said: 'We are Liverpool, the pressure is always on. Even if we bring 10 players in, or no players in, there is always pressure when you wear a Liverpool shirt.' He offered measured credit to Wirtz and Ekitiké: 'These are players we have brought in for quite a lot of money so they know how to handle the pressure. Both of them played a good game.' The Palace manager Oliver Glasner was delighted to add further silverware to last season's FA Cup. He said: 'I have to give big credit to the players for this win today, we came back and were able to decide the game on penalties. We were on the same level as Liverpool and it was a big performance.' Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Asked whether he would swap victory at Wembley for the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling in Palace's favour on Monday over playing in the Europa League or Conference League, Glasner said: 'No, we will accept this. Tomorrow we have no influence so we will celebrate tonight and then meet for lunch at training. Then we will schedule the rest of August. If we play in the Conference League, we have more games in August.'

Raducanu ready for ‘fact-finding match' against Sabalenka at Cincinnati Open
Emma Raducanu has underlined her excitement before what she describes as a 'fact-finding match' against the world No 1, Aryna Sabalenka, as they prepare to battle in the third round of the Cincinnati Open on Monday. 'It's always exciting for a player like me to play the very top, because it's like a fact-finding match,' Raducanu said. 'You see where you are in comparison to the top. I also think form fluctuates so much on the day. You can lose two and one [6-2, 6-1] one day, you can win or you can make it close the next day, and it can be down to a few points. So I'm excited.' It will be Raducanu's first significant match since starting work with her new coach, Francisco Roig, last week in Cincinnati. Last month she played one of her best matches against a top player in making life difficult for Sabalenka at Wimbledon in two tight sets. After serving for the first set and then later holding a set point against the Belarusian, Raducanu led 4-1 in the second set before losing 7-6 (6), 6-4. 'She played incredible tennis,' Sabalenka said of the British player after her straight-sets win against Marketa Vondrousova on Saturday night. 'I'm super happy to see her mentally and physically back, and definitely gonna be back in the top 10 very soon. She challenged me that much, and I like to accept tough challenges, so I'm super excited about facing her on the hard courts.' Raducanu gave an honest response when asked if she left Centre Court at Wimbledon determined to have another crack at Sabalenka as soon as possible. 'I would say I thought I'd love to have another crack at that on grass, like tomorrow,' she said, laughing. 'But I know, and I'm honestly reasonable enough, and, I guess, honest enough in myself to know that different surfaces favour different people and where my game is at in comparison. I think the grass gave me a bit of an advantage but we'll see how it goes.' Raducanu has enjoyed a positive run of form in recent months while training and competing consistently on the tour and she could be seeded for the US Open. However, while she has performed well in the matches she has been favoured to win, the lessons from most of her previous encounters against the top players have been that her general level has simply not been good enough. In their first few days working together, Raducanu and Roig will at least get a clear understanding of exactly where she stands in comparison to the very best. On Sunday, Cameron Norrie struggled badly in 33C (91F) heat and humid conditions as he lost 6-4, 6-3 against Roberto Bautista Agut in the second round. After trailing the 37-year-old Spaniard by an early break, Norrie had appeared to be finding his way when he suddenly began to feel sick. Despite fighting hard until the end, he spent the rest of the match clutching his chest and barely able to move on the court: '[In the] 5-4 game I started to feel like I wanted to throw up,' said Norrie. 'Maybe it's the heat, I don't know. I went to the bathroom and threw everything up after the first set and I was still not feeling good. And I had no energy in the second set.' Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion Seeded 32nd in Cincinnati, Norrie has been in great form over the past few months, following up his fourth round finish at the French Open with a quarter-final run at Wimbledon. Norrie had hoped to maintain his momentum on the North American hard courts, his favourite surface, but he has instead struggled in each tournament. Norrie's physicality is usually one of his biggest strengths, which has made these results even more frustrating. 'At this point, I don't know what to say,' said Norrie. 'We're trying everything. We're using the ice. We're changing shirts and changing grips all the time. I don't think it's that hot, like it's hot but it's not crazy. I'm just not sure why my body is not letting me play. It must be mental too, because I'm really good in the heat, and I have such high expectations for myself to do well in the heat. So I guess maybe I need to lower those expectations now.' In his first match since losing in the Wimbledon final to Jannik Sinner last month, the men's No 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz held firm in the decisive moments against Damir Dzumhur despite a turbulent performance to reach the third round in Cincinnati with a 6-1, 2-6, 6-3 win. Coco Gauff, the women's No 2 seed, eased into the third round with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Wang Xinyu.
