Emma Raducanu believes she needs to return to her natural game, as she suggested she has been over-coached in recent years.

The 2021 US Open champion, who has not won a Tour-level title since that triumph in Flushing Meadows, split with coach Francisco Roig after the Australian Open.

Including Roig, Raducanu has worked with seven full-time coaches.

And while Raducanu is open to working with several different people, she thinks the best route forward is to return to an instinctive way of playing.

Ahead of her Indian Wells Open campaign, Raducanu told BBC Sport: "Right now, it's more about bringing my instincts back out, getting back in touch with myself.

"I have had a lot of people telling me what to do, how to play, and it hasn't necessarily fit.

"So I want to come back to my natural way of playing. That takes time to relearn because that's something that has been coached out of me a little bit.

"I don't necessarily want to have one coach in the role because anyone I bring in is straight away going to be scrutinised – even if it's a trial.

"I might feel the pressure to stick with them, even if it's not necessarily the right decision.

"I would love to have a coach that works well, but I don't think it's necessarily going to be easy to find one person and they are going to check every box.

"I definitely have my mind open to it. It's just that I would rather someone not come in and tell me, 'Let's do this', and I disagree with it but have to listen to them.

"So far Alexis [Canter] has been really good, but I am definitely going to tap into a few people here and there."

Raducanu is set to face Anastasia Zakharova in her first match in California.
