Emma Raducanu will begin a trial period with new coach Vladimir Platenik when she plays her first-round match at Indian Wells on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Raducanu faces Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima in her opener at the BNP Paribas Open – live on Sky Sports Tennis<\/em> from approximately 9pm – with the winner facing world No 3 Coco Gauff in the next round..<\/p>\n

It will be Raducanu’s first appearance since she was the target of “fixated behaviour” from a man during the Dubai Championships in February<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

During Raducanu’s last WTA outing the Brit was left in tears as a man was ejected from the stands<\/span>

It will also be the first time she has teamed up with a new coach since Nick Cavaday stood down for health reasons following the Australian Open, where Raducanu was heavily beaten by five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek in the third round.<\/p>\n

Forty-nine-year-old Slovakian Platenik coached New Zealand’s Lulu Sun throughout her run to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon last year, when she beat Raducanu in the fourth round, and has also worked with Dominika Cibulkova, Daria Kasatkina and Veronika Kudermetova.<\/p>\n

Raducanu has earned just one victory since Cavaday’s departure, beating Greece’s Maria Sakkari in the last 64 in Dubai.<\/p>\n

When facing Karolina Muchova in the next round, Raducanu approached the umpire’s chair in tears just two games into her defeat after receiving repeated unwanted attention from a “fixated” man before and during the match.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the first round in Indian Wells, the 22-year-old revealed she “couldn’t see the ball through tears” and could “barely breathe” during the ordeal in Dubai<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
