THE REAL REASON EMMA RADUCANU TRUSTS FRANCISCO ROIG MORE THAN HER PREVIOUS COACHES
Emma Raducanu teams up with Nadal’s ex-coach for a 2026 surge, while Jack Draper battles a bone bruise. Get the full injury report.
As Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper, both British No. 1s but separated by thousands of miles, watched the New Year's fireworks, they may have thought about how important 2026 will be for their careers.
They've known each other since they were kids learning to play tennis. Being just a few months apart in age, they've always been seen as the future of British tennis. 2026 is a key year for both, but for different reasons. It's like they've switched roles. Raducanu has everything she needs to win, so she needs to show she can compete near the top, like Draper did in 2024 and early last year. For Draper, it's simpler, like it was for Raducanu in 2025: he just needs to stay healthy.
Raducanu is in Perth, leading Team GB in the United Cup, which is like practice before the Australian Open. For the first time, we can say she has what she needs for a good season.
Most importantly, her coach, Francisco Roig, could be the long-term mentor she needs. He has a great reputation, having spent 18 years with Rafael Nadal.
His coaching style seems perfect for Raducanu. Jordi Vilaro, from Roig's BTT Academy, said that Roig believes players waste energy with too much stopping and starting. Rather, he thinks players should always be moving, running to the ball and hitting it almost at the same time.
If you saw Raducanu win the 2021 US Open, you'll remember her playing like this. She was in a groove, and she's been trying to get back to that ever since. Roig might be the one to help her.
Raducanu trusts him, which is a big deal for her. Some of her past coaches lost her trust by talking to the media. Roig kept Nadal's secrets for years and still does, which shows Raducanu that he's someone she can trust.
Besides Roig, Raducanu has a good team around her, including Jerome Poupel, who has worked in Formula 1 and horse racing, and Emma Stewart, who worked with the British rowing team that won gold in Paris 2024.
Now, there are no excuses. Raducanu should be able to reach her full potential this season.
Draper, on the other hand, is dealing with injuries and a new coach, similar to Raducanu in the past.
Last season, Draper looked like he would become a top player. But a bone bruise in his arm has kept him out for months, and he's still not ready to play in Australia.
This isn't a new problem. Since he grew a lot as a teenager, Draper has had trouble staying healthy. He's had shoulder problems, hip pain, and now this. His fitness team, Matt Little and Shane Annun, who both worked with Andy Murray, need to help him stay fit.
Draper has proven he can compete at the highest level but has had fitness problems.
Draper also split with his longtime coach, James Trotman, which adds another challenge.
His new coach is Jamie Delgado, who also worked with Murray. He recently helped Grigor Dimitrov improve his game late in his career and is very good at what he does. But Draper and Trotman were close, so it will take time to build that same kind of relationship with Delgado.
Draper has a lot to figure out, and Raducanu has one main goal: with everything in place, how good can she be?
LIFE AFTER TENNIS: HOW RAFAEL NADAL REPLACED GRAND SLAMS WITH A QUEST FOR PARS.
Rafael Nadal is obsessed with golf: Analyse his new "Spin and Swing" circuit, his wife's reaction, and his wins on the green.
Rafael Nadal admits, half-joking, half-serious, that his love for golf drives his wife a little crazy. After racking up 22 Grand Slam singles titles (second-most in the Open Era) and wrapping up his 23-year tennis career in November 2024, Nadal needed something to fill the gap. Golf quickly took over.
He’s always loved the game, even back in his tennis days, but now that he’s off the tour, he’s spending more and more time on the course. These days, if he’s not playing, he’s glued to the TV, following tournaments. His wife, Maria Francisca Perello, apparently isn’t thrilled about this new obsession.
At a charity tournament in Madrid earlier this month, Nadal laughed about it: “I follow golf every week, and my wife suffers because of it. I watched Jon Rahm in Riyadh this week; he finished strong and almost won. I just really enjoy it.”
He’s not just watching, either. Last week in Mallorca, Nadal launched his own charity golf circuit, Spin and Swing. He mentioned he’s turned down wildcard offers to play in pro events before, since tennis always came first. All the money from his new event goes to his own foundation. For Nadal, this project just comes from a genuine love for the sport.
“I’ve had invites a few times,” he said, “but it’s never worked out. Maybe one day, but only if I feel like I won’t embarrass myself out there. I’d want to at least be able to compete, even if it’s just with myself.”
He’s already tested himself in smaller tournaments and not just for fun. He actually won the Balearic Mid-Amateur Championship by seven shots in February 2024, beating out 73 other players. He won’t brag about his game, but he’s clearly got talent.
Last July, he even got in a few rounds with Roger Federer at Pula Golf Resort in Mallorca. And who knows, maybe someday we’ll see a full Big Four showdown on the fairways. Andy Murray plays too, after all.
Talking to The Telegraph last year, Nadal teased, "Yeah, it could happen, but they need to practice! On the tennis cour,t we were pretty even, but this time, I’m way ahead.”
So, don’t be surprised if you see more of Nadal on the golf course from here on out. He’s traded one obsession for another, and honestly, it sounds like his wife will just have to put up with it a while longer.
OFFICIAL RETURN: NOVAK DJOKOVIC CONFIRMED FOR INDIAN WELLS 2026; TOURNAMENT STARTS THIS MARCH
Novak Djokovic is heading back to Indian Wells: Discover the latest on his 2026 schedule, fatigue updates, and his hunt for a 6th title.
Novak Djokovic is heading back to Indian Wells this year. The tournament organisers just made it official on social media, calling it a return to “Tennis Paradise". It’s been a quiet season for Djokovic so far. He’s only played the Australian Open, where he made it to the final but lost to Carlos Alcaraz in four sets. He was supposed to play the Adelaide International before that, but pulled out, saying he wasn’t physically ready. He also skipped this week’s Qatar Open, blaming strong fatigue.
Djokovic isn’t playing any tournaments in the last week of February, but come March, he’ll be back for the Sunshine Double, starting at Indian Wells. The organisers sounded pretty excited, posting on Instagram: “A legend returns. 20 years after his debut here, Novak Djokovic is coming back to Tennis Paradise!”
This tournament is a familiar stop for Djokovic. He’s won it five times, but the last couple of years have been rough. In 2025, he lost in the second round to Botic van de Zandschulp. The year before, Luca Nardi knocked him out in the third round. Before that, he skipped three straight Indian Wells events for various reasons, and let’s not forget, the 2020 edition got cancelled because of the pandemic.
You have to go back to 2016 for the last time Djokovic really made a deep run here; he won his fifth title that year, beating Milos Raonic in the final. He also took the trophy in 2015, 2014, 2011, and 2008.
This year’s Indian Wells field looks stacked. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are expected to be the top seeds, with Djokovic likely taking the third spot. After them, you’ve got names like Alexander Zverev, Lorenzo Musetti, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Ben Shelton, and Alexander Bublik.
Djokovic hasn’t said exactly what his schedule looks like for the rest of the year, but he’s expected to play the Miami Open next, a tournament he’s won six times. He returned to Miami last year after five years away. After that, all eyes shift to the clay-court season, starting with the Monte Carlo Masters.
