Tracy Austin claims that Emma Raducanu shouldn't have fired her coach Andrew Richardson after her US Open triumph.
The two-time US Open champion believes that the 18-year-old should look to rehire him.
"I just put myself in Emma’s shoes and I kind of know what it feels. Everything just comes at you so quickly," Austin told the Tennis Channel.
"All of a sudden now everybody wants a piece of you, they want demands on your time, they want a photo shoot here.
"We saw that she went to the Met Gala afterwards, she went to the James Bond premiere over in London.
"She fired her coach. That’s not something I think that she should have changed quite yet because there’s too many changes already.
"I think the foundation is so important – your family, your agent. Max Einsenbud is her agent, he’s been through it with Maria Sharapova who won at 17 so I think that should be helpful.
"I’d say go back to Andrew Richardson, I saw them at the US Open before each match, they seemed to have a nice camaraderie.
"She needs something that was the same as what she had at the US Open, everything around her has changed, so the parents need to try and help her find that foundation again."
Raducanu is set to be back in action at the Transylvania Open, which starts on Monday, October 25.
